How to check your Car’s Tire Pressure:
Smart drivers are those who make sure that all parts of their vehicles are perfect and well-equipped safeguarding that they don’t get involved in any accidents.
Yes, we all should be alert on checking our vehicle’s tire pressure and inflation, because it can save us from any sort of dangerous situation. A specified pressure is important for every tire so make a habit to check them monthly and fill them up accordingly.
Here’s a guide for you all which can help you to check the pressure of the tire.
- Step #1: Go to a gas station where you can find an air-filling system installed. They are usually located in all the stations; Hence, it’s easy to find one. They have huge hoses attached to it. Pull them out and bring them closer to your car’s tires so that they can easily be filled.
- Step #2: All tires have a certain pressure labeled on them. You can see what is the required pressure of the tires. They all can be different as there are many types of tires. They must be labeled somewhere on the sides of the tires. You can also buy a digital tire gauge which is not that costly and helps by telling you the reading of the required pressure in the tire.
- Step #3: Now you have to remove the tire stem and attach the hose of the air-filling system. Gently and firmly press the tip down on the stem for two seconds, and the built-in pressure gauge on the top of the trigger assembly will extend a pressure reading bar. Pull the tip of the air hose off the air stem. Now press the tip of the gauge over the stem and the pressure bar will extend out at the back. Then gently remove the gauge.
- Step #4: Remember the car tire’s pressure that we checked in step # 2? Now is the time where you compare that to the pressure bar marked which is made up of long lines and markers. If the pressure bar has stopped extending from a certain line, it means that from here you can determine the pressure of the tire.
- Step #5: Now when you know the required pressure and the marked pressure, if you think that the tires need more, you can simply trigger the air hose and fill the tire safely. Do it until and unless you get the correct PSI mentioned on the tire. Always make sure that you perform these steps only and only if you are an expert. Do not attempt unless and until you’re working under someone’s supervision.
We hope that this guide helped you. You may need the go to a gas station where the air-filling system is fixed which can help the process to be performed accurately. Always make sure not to go for under-inflated or over-inflated tires as these can result in terrible accidents risking lives.
Whether you have light truck tyres, passengers tyres or heavy bus and truck tyres, by keeping the tyres properly inflated, you not only avoid frightening accidents but you also increase their life.
We recommend you to buy top quality tyres and replace all four tyres at once. You can begin by searching for the best tyres in Kuwait.
There are a few things you should consider before buying your tyres including:
- The type of vehicle you have
- The type of surface you drive on (highway or off-road)
- Weather condition you mostly face
Once you are aware of these variables, you can make the best decision.
After you have bought the tyres, it all comes down to how well you take care of them.
Maintaining optimal pressure in the tyre, rotating them timely or as recommended by the manufacturer in the user’s manual and inspecting them regularly will increase their longetivity.
