warmer, causing the air pressure within them to increase. Therefore, to
get an accurate tire pressure reading, you must measure tire pressure
when the tires are cold or compensate for the extra pressure in warm
tires.
3.5.5 Steps for Maintaining Proper Tire Pressure
•
Step 1: Locate the recommended tire pressure on the vehicle's tire
information placard, certification label, or in the owner's manual.
•
Step 2: Record the tire pressure of all tires.
•
Step 3: If the tire pressure is too high in any of the tires, slowly
release air by gently pressing on the tire valve stem with the edge of
your tire gauge until you get to the correct pressure.
•
Step 4: If the tire pressure is too low, note the difference between the
measured tire pressure and the correct tire pressure. These "missing"
pounds of pressure are what you will need to add.
•
Step 5: At a service station, add the missing pounds of air pressure to
each tire that is underinflated.
•
Step 6: Check all the tires to make sure they have the same air
pressure (except in cases in which the front and rear tires are
supposed to have different amounts of pressure).
If you have been driving your vehicle and think that a tire is
underinflated, fill it to the recommended cold inflation pressure indicated
on your vehicle's tire information placard or certification label. While
your tire may still be slightly underinflated due to the extra pounds of
pressure in the warm tire, it is safer to drive with air pressure that is
slightly lower than the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold
inflation pressure than to drive with a significantly underinflated tire.
Since this is a temporary fix, don't forget to recheck and adjust the tire's
pressure when you can obtain a cold reading.
3.5.6 Tire Size
To maintain tire safety, purchase new tires that are the same size as the
vehicle's original tires or another size recommended by the manufacturer.
Look at the tire information placard, the owner's manual, or the sidewall
of the tire you are replacing to find this information. If you have any
doubt about the correct size to choose, consult with the tire dealer.
