How to Check

Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire

pressure. You cannot tell if your tires are properly

inﬂated simply by looking at them. Radial tires

may look properly inﬂated even when they are

under-inﬂated. Check the tire’s inﬂation pressure

when the tires are cold. Cold means your vehicle

has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no

more than 1 mile (1.6 km).

Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem.

Press the tire gage ﬁrmly onto the valve to

get a pressure measurement. If the cold tire

inﬂation pressure matches the recommended

pressure on the Tire and Loading Information

label, no further adjustment is necessary. If the

inﬂation pressure is low, add air until you reach the

recommended amount.

If you overﬁll the tire, release air by pushing on

the metal stem in the center of the tire valve.

Re-check the tire pressure with the tire gage.

Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve

stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt

and moisture.

High-Speed Operation

{ CAUTION:

Driving at high speeds, 100 mph (160 km/h) or

higher, puts an additional strain on tires. Sustained

high-speed driving causes excessive heat build up

and can cause sudden tire failure. You could have

a crash and you or others could be killed. Some

high-speed rated tires require inﬂation pressure

adjustment for high speed operation. When speed

limits and road conditions are such that a vehicle

can be driven at high speeds, make sure the tires

are rated for high speed operation, in excellent

condition, and set to the correct cold tire inﬂation

pressure for the vehicle load.
