π How to check tyre pressure π
Before you start, make sure youβre using a pressure gauge that uses the same unit of measurement as the pressure guidelines given for your car.
Once youβve got a suitable pressure gauge:
βοΈRemove the valve dust cap from the tyre valve and place the pressure gauge onto the tyre valve stem
βοΈPress down the gauge evenly on the valve stem to ensure you get an accurate reading
βοΈCheck the reading on the pressure gauge to determine if youβll need to deflate or inflate your tyres
βοΈIf your tyres need inflating, use a suitable pump and avoid over-inflation by adding small amounts of air at a time
βοΈIf your tyres need deflating, use the tip of a flat-head screwdriver to push on the metal pin on the valve stem to release air
βοΈTake regular measurements with the pressure gauge between inflating and deflating
βοΈMake sure you check all four tyres on your car, as pressure in each tyre can vary significantly.
Donβt forget to check the spare tyre as well. This is often overlooked, and you never know when you might need to use it.
