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.
