Inflation -- Tire Pressure

The Tire-Loading Information label, which is in your

glove compartment, 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 1 mile (1.6 km).

NOTICE:

Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or

overinflation is all right. It’s not. If your tires

don’t have enough air (underinflation), you can

get the following:

Too much flexing

Too much heat

Tire overloading

Bad wear

Bad handling

Bad fuel economy.

NOTICE: (Continued)

If your tires have too much air (overinflation),

you can get the following:

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. You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated

simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look

properly inflated even when they’re underinflated.

Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
