Car tire pressure guide

Tire inflation is an important factor to ensure your safety and that of your passengers. If your tire pressure is incorrect, it can also impact your vehicle's operating costs through premature tire wear and higher-than-normal fuel consumption.

In this article, you will learn when you should check your tire pressure and how to inflate tires in 3 simple steps. You will see that tire inflation has to be done differently depending on whether your tires are cold or warm and that the spare wheel should also be checked regularly, although not as often as the other tires.

We will also address the question of the portable tire inflation compressor as an alternative to gas stations and help you decide if you should inflate tires with nitrogen.

It can also damage your tires, reduce their life span and increase your fuel consumption. Let's take a look at how to avoid these risks and what tire pressure is needed for your vehicle.
