information placard, certification label, or in the owner's manual.
Step 2: Record the tire pressure of all tires.
Step 3: If the tire pressure is too high in any of the tires, slowly release air
by gently pressing on the tire valve stem with the edge of your tire gauge
until you get to the correct pressure.
Step 4: If the tire pressure is too low, note the difference between the
measured tire pressure and the correct tire pressure. These "missing" pounds
of pressure are what you will need to add.
Step 5: At a service station, add the missing pounds of air pressure to each
tire that is underinflated.
Step 6: Check all the tires to make sure they have the same air pressure
(except in cases in which the front and rear tires are supposed to have
different amounts of pressure). If you have been driving your vehicle and
think that a tire is underinflated, fill it to the recommended cold inflation
pressure indicated on your vehicle's tire information placard or certification
label. While your tire may still be slightly underinflated due to the extra
pounds of pressure in the warm tire, it is safer to drive with air pressure that
is slightly lower than the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold inflation
pressure than to drive with a significantly underinflated tire. Since this is a
temporary fix, don't forget to recheck and adjust the tire's pressure when you
can obtain a cold reading.
1.5.4. TIRE SIZE
To maintain tire safety, purchase new tires that are the same size as the
vehicle's original tires or another size recommended by the manufacturer.
Look at the tire information placard, the owner's manual, or the sidewall of
the tire you are replacing to find this information. If you have any doubt
about the correct size to choose, consult with the tire dealer.
1.5.5. TIRE TREAD
The tire tread provides the gripping action and traction that prevent your
vehicle from slipping or sliding, especially when the road is wet or icy. In
general, tires are not safe and should be replaced when the tread is worn
down to 1/16 of an inch. Tires have built-in tread wear indicators that let you
know when it is time to replace your tires. These indicators are raised
