The pressure is usually listed in PSI (pounds per square inch). \u00a0<\/li><li>For the most accurate reading, check tire pressure when the tires are cold, meaning the car hasn\u2019t been driven for at least three hours. You\u2019ll have to locate the valve stem on the tire, and unscrew the small cap.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/li><li>Press the tire pressure gauge firmly onto the valve stem. You\u2019ll hear a brief hiss of air, which is normal. Keep the gauge pressed until you get a reading. Digital gauges will display the pressure on a screen, while analog gauges will show it on a dial. Compare reading with the recommended tire pressure, add air if it is lower than recommended. If it\u2019s higher, you\u2019ll need to release some air. \u00a0<\/li><li>If you need to add air, attach the air compressor hose to the valve stem. Once your tire is inflated to the proper pressure, replace the valve cap. This helps keep dirt and moisture out of the valve stem. \u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/597\/2024\/06\/19043116\/Car-tire_b.png\" alt=\"A mechanic checking a vehicle's tire\" class=\"wp-image-573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/597\/2024\/06\/19043116\/Car-tire_b.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/597\/2024\/06\/19043116\/Car-tire_b-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/597\/2024\/06\/19043255\/Tire-pressure_b.png\" alt=\"A man inflates car tires \" class=\"wp-image-574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/597\/2024\/06\/19043255\/Tire-pressure_b.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/597\/2024\/06\/19043255\/Tire-pressure_b-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.llautolink.com\/blog\/proven-methods-to-maintain-your-cars-paint-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Protect Your Vehicle\u2019s Paint from Scratches<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.llautolink.com\/blog\/what-can-i-do-to-prolong-the-life-of-my-vehicles-tires\/\">What Can I Do to Prolong the Life of My Vehicle\u2019s Tires?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Schedule Service in Lewisville, TX &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For vehicle repair and maintenance, visit L&amp;L Auto Link.
