What Is the Right Tire Pressure for My Vehicle? 

Though every model is different, professionals recommend that your tires are inflated between 30 and 34 PSI (pounds per square inch). This is the perfect amount of air to keep your car's performance at its best and elevate your fuel economy.

To find out the exact PSI for your model, refer to your owner's manual.

How Do I Check My Tire Pressure?

Most newer models of vehicles come equipped with a tire pressure sensor that will send a signal to your dashboard when the tire inflation is not at the right spot. But, you can also check the pressure in your tires yourself!

To do so, grab a tire pressure gauge which is sold at any automotive shop or gas station. Now, remove the end cap from your tire's air valve and press the gauge into it. This will give you a reading. It's as easy as that!

Can I Drive with the Wrong Tire Pressure?

Whether your tires are low or too full of air, it can cause some serious complications when behind the wheel.

• Low Tire Pressure - Having less air then recommended in your tires can lower your gas mileage and break down at higher speeds. This can result in a flat tire or blowout.
  
• High Tire Pressure - Over-inflation can cause premature damage to your tires. This may mean a possible blowout or the need to replace your tires much sooner than normal.

What Do I Do When My Tire Pressure Warning Light Illuminates?

If you see your tire pressure warning light pop on while driving, make sure to check the air in your tires as soon as possible. If more air needs to be added, do so. If the light stays on and starts to blink, there could be an issue with your system. Schedule an appointment at your dealership's service center to resolve the problem.
