How to Check Air Pressure in a Tire in a Toyota Tundra

Toyota first manufactured the Tundra pickup in 1999 for its 2000 line of vehicles. Caring for the tires of your Tundra is important for effectively hauling things in this workhorse of a vehicle. To do this, you have to check the air pressure monthly.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tire gauge

1. Check the printed tire codes you will find on the tire and on the sticker on your driver's side door. Toyota recommends a range of 26 to 36 psi for the Tundra tires.

2. Procure a tire pressure gauge from an auto parts store, buying the one you that is the easiest for you to read.

3. Leave your truck stationary for a while. Driving around just heats up your tires, which expands the air inside. This throws off the pressure slightly. Early in the morning is the best time to check your tires.

4. Remove the tiny plastic caps from each of your tires. Bear in mind that these have a way of skipping off into oblivion if you drop them.

5. Attach the tire pressure gauge to each of the valve stems. Secure the stem until the gauge gives you a full reading.

6. Remove the gauge from the stem valve on your Tundra and take a look at your reading. Compare this reading with the Toyota recommendations. Make the needed adjustments.

7. Return the caps to their rightful places on the stem valves.
