We all know that tires need air, but how much exactly? If you're not sure how full to fill your tires, then you can generally find out by locating the decal inside the driver's side doorjamb or in the glove box. It's very important to keep your tires properly inflated. You will even possibly get better gas mileage, and you will get the most life out of your tires that you can. Your tires lose an average of 1 PSI every month, and that adds up over time. Temperature can also affect your tire pressure, and excessive heat buildup can even damage your tires. This is also true if you have over-inflated and under-inflated tires. Your Tire Pressure sensor, if your vehicle possesses one, is located on your dashboard and will tell you when your tires are over-inflated or under-inflated, so be sure to pay attention to it. It generally doesn’t tell you anything else, though, and you should also do a visual check from time to time.
