Title: Can Low Tires Cause Problems


1
Can Low Tires Cause Problems
2
A piece of any monthly vehicle maintenance
schedule is checking the air pressure of your
cars tires.
3
When airing up wheels your vehicle will get
better gas mileage plus your tire's life will be
extended.
4
Tire air pressure is crucial to a vehicle's
overall performance.
5
Using a basic tire air pressure gauge you can
check your cars tire air pressure.
6
Gauges can be bought for as low as three dollars
for a basic one or more for a higher quality one.
7
Once you have a tire air pressure gauge you may
need to check your cars owner manual to find the
optimal air pressure for your tires.
8
If you cannot find your owner's manual there will
be a sticker or label on the inside of one of the
doors.
9
How to Fix Low Tires
10
First off you will need to find your ideal tire
air pressure for your vehicle, which can be found
in your owner's manual, data stickers, or even
on-line.
11
Once you know the appropriate air pressure you
must make the trip to a nearby service station
and use their air compressor.
12
The majority of service stations will have one,
but if the one you visited did not have one try
the next one.
13
After that, you must take off rubber covers which
are on the wheel stems and now you are free to
connect the air compressor to your tire.
14
Fill your wheel with air for a couple of minutes
and then remove the hose and place your gauge on
the stem to check your air pressure.
15
Perform repeatedly as needed to reach perfect air
pressure.
16
As soon as you have performed all 4 wheels you
can place the plastic tops back on and you are
all set to go.
17
Having Low Tires Can Cause Trouble
18
Count on having lowered gas mileage by having the
incorrect tire air pressure.
19
Gas prices in todays economic system can be
difficult to deal with.
20
A moment spent at a fuel station is a free and
easy method to improve your gasoline efficiency.
21
Having the incorrect tire air pressure can cause
your wheels to be worn much more quickly.
22
Not everybody really wants to buy new wheels more
than they need to due to them being so expensive.
23
The inaccurate tire air pressure is only a
accident waiting to appear.
24
Sliding due to loss of grip or even a blowout
from destroyed wheels is something that can
happen.
