How To Check Tyre Air Pressure?

Check the tyre sidewall for the recommended tyre pressure (psi or bar)

Use a tyre pressure gauge (digital or dial)

Make sure tyres are cold (check before driving or after the car has been parked for a few hours)

Remove the valve cap from the tyre

Press the gauge firmly onto the valve stem until the reading stabilizes

Note the reading

Compare the reading to the recommended pressure

If low, add air from an air pump and recheck

If high, release air in short bursts and recheck

Repeat for all tyres, including the spare if it’s meant for use

Replace the valve caps securely

Recheck pressure after adjusting, and again after driving a short distance if needed
