Car Tire Rotation: Check Air Pressure

Video Transcript

"Okay now we have the wheels back on the car, One thing that's important to keep in good even tire wear, is your tire pressure. So we want to check the pressure of the tires, it will also give you better gas mileage. And remember the more pressure you have in the tire, the harder that tire is going to be. So the more pressure you have, the less comfortable the rides going to be. If you lower the pressure the tire's going to have more cushion, more shock absorption, and you'll get a more comfortable ride. So if you look on the tire in fine print, it will tell you to max pressure the tire recommended. Which it is exactly that, the max pressure. So you don't want to use the max pressure on this tire is forty-four is the max pressure. On most passenger type vehicles like this, a good average is thirty-four pounds pressure. You might run it up to thirty-six if it doesn't change the ride much, and give you a little better gas mileage at that too. But thirty-four is pretty common where you should set it and not have any problems. So take the cap off, this gauge is real inexpensive maybe a couple of dollars, and you want to hold it in until the stick quits moving so you get an accurate reading. It's at thirty-three, a little bit more. Should be good to go."
