The helpful team members in our service center believe that every Astoria driver should know how to fill tires with air – it’s an essential part of vehicle maintenance. Keeping your tires inflated to the correct car tire pressure will help maximize your tires’ lifespan and help you drive safely on the road. So, now you may be wondering, “How much air should I put in my tires?” Keep reading to find the answer in the helpful guide below.
Use a high-quality pressure gauge to check your current car tire pressure. These gauges are inexpensive and can be picked up at any auto parts store. If the pressure is low, you’ll need to add more air. If it’s too high, gently press the metal stem in the center of the valve to release air.
When you’re ready to fill, remove the valve stem cap and firmly press the air chuck onto the valve stem. Double check that the hose is securely attached. Engage the air compressor, and fill the tire to the recommended PSI. Don’t overfill.
How to Fill Tires with Air in 4 Steps
If you’re wondering, “How much air should I put in my tires?”, you don’t need to worry, because the correct pressure is easy to find. Just locate the recommended car tire pressure in your owner’s manual or printed on a sticker inside the driver’s door jamb. This number will be followed by “PSI”, which stands for “pounds per square inch”. You’ll want to keep your tires inflated to this number, as underinflated tires can cause poor gas mileage, uneven tread wear, and blowouts. Overinflated tires reduce traction and lead to uneven wear.
