How to measure the tire pressure

The importance of a good tire lies in the fact that this is the only means of contact between the ground and the car. It is for this reason that you must know how to measure the pressure of a tire. Carry a proper inflation pressure in your car is very important to obtain the best performance of the tire. The correct inflation pressure is recommended by the tire manufacturer, to know what pressure your tires should go with, consult your car's instruction manual. The inflation pressure is generally between 28 to 30 psi. in light vehicles. This pressure must be controlled at least every 15 days and including the spare wheel

Steps to follow:

one

To be able to measure the pressure of a tire you must use a pressure gauge. In case you do not have a manometer, you can go to the nearest service station that you have, usually there always have them.

Once you have put the hose in the spout, go to the air machine and that's where you can measure the tire pressure .
