Tire Pressure Maximize your tires' performance and durability by monitoring and maintaining correct air pressure.
Air is a gas, expanding when heated and contracting when cooled. For most of North America, fall and early winter are especially important times for checking tire pressure – as the ambient temperature falls, tire pressure goes down.
A good rule of thumb is that every 10 degrees Fahrenheit temperature change, tire pressure changes about 1 psi – higher as temperature rise, lower as they fall. Also, check your vehicle's Owner's Manual for recommended tire pressure.
Under-inflated tires can cause: Over-inflated tires can cause: Unusual wear Poor handling Reduced fuel economy
Checking Air Pressure
Check your vehicle's tires at least once a month, when the tires are cold (let the vehicle sit for at least 3 hours). Look in your owner's manual for the recommended tire inflation for your vehicle. Use a quality gauge. Don't "eyeball" tires – radial tires can look fine even when they're under-inflated.
Be sure to look for objects that have become wedged in the tread – they can work themselves further into the tire and cause air loss.
And don't forget to check the spare! Tire Rotation
Since each tire performs different tasks (such as steering or front versus rear wheel drive), tires wear at different rates. Rotating your tires at recommended intervals extends their useful life and achieves more uniform tire wear.
It's important to rotate your tires according to the correct tire rotation pattern. Front tires encounter different tasks than the rear tires. And a front-wheel-drive car's tires perform different tasks than those on a rear-wheel-drive car. Your owner's manual specifies which rotation pattern is right for your vehicle.
Your vehicle's front and rear tires may also use different pressures – make sure to adjust individual tire pressure to the recommendation for each wheel position. See your Owner's Manual for recommendations.
