lnflation-lire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label
which is
on the rear edge of the driver’s
door shows the correct inflation
pressures for your tires, when they’re
cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has
been sitting for at least three hours or
driven no more than a mile. Don’t
let anyone tell you that
underinflation
or overinflation is
all right. It’s
not. If your tires don’t
have enough
you can get:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad weLA
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy. ition)
If your tires have too much air
(overinflation), you can get:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road
hazards.
When to Check:
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It
should be at
60 psi (420 kpa).
How to Check:
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to
check tire pressure. Simply looking at
the tires will not tell you the pressure,
especially if
you have radial tires-
which may look properly inflated even if
they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to
put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
