What are the tire inflation maintenance tips?

As for tire inflation and maintenance tips, the editor thinks you must know the following tips. Don't judge pressure by looking at the tires. Modern tires are slightly bulging, making them look a little under-inflated even though they aren't. This effect may be exaggerated on soft surfaces, such as dirt roads or gravel driveways. At least once a month, use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure in all four tires and the spare tire. A good tire pressure gauge can be purchased at an auto parts store for as little as $5 to $15. Set your tires to the tire pressure recommended by your car manufacturer. This is printed on a placard on the car, either on the door frame, the fuel filler door, or on the inside of the glove box lid. Do not follow the "maximum inflation pressure" printed on the tire. If your car has a limited service (aka space saver) spare, also check that it's inflated to the pressure specified on the placard - usually 60 psi. Measure the pressure while the tires are cold before they are driven more than a mile or two. As the vehicle is driven, the tires heat up and increase in pressure, making it more difficult to set them to the correct cold tire pressure. Many cars on the road may have one or more under-inflated tires. Part of the problem is the tire losing air through the rubber and where it connects to the wheel and valves. Sometimes, air loss is so slow that many people don't realize it has happened. Seasonal temperature changes can also cause tire pressure to drop, by about 1 psi for every 10 degrees.

Car tires play a vital role in the safety of the car. As the only parts of a car that come into contact with the ground, they are one of the key factors affecting vehicle handling and braking, as well as overall road safety. ?

There are some simple steps you can and should take to ensure your tires stay in top condition. Inspection and inflation are key. Performing regular inspections is quick and easy, and well worth the time invested for the safety of you and your passengers. Now everyone should know how to maintain tires!
