your tire pressure as often as once a
month be sure to check the pressure when

car has been stationary for at least 3
hours tire pressure must be checked by

accurate simply to look at it if you
don’t have a gauge gas stations and
garages should be equipped with ones you
can use your car’s tires have precise
air pressure specifications and you will
usually find this information on a
sticker found on the driver’s side door
gem in the trunk or in the glove
compartment the only indication of tire
pressure listed on the tire itself is
for the maximum pressure and this is not
