How to inflate tires properly?
Buy the Drive Green one-shot tire inflator and use it regularly. The vehicle manufacturer recommended tire pressures are optimized when the tires are cool. So, ideally, your tires should also be inflated or measured when the tires are cold, driving less than 5 miles. The tire pressure increases 1 psi with every 10 F rise. Inflate your tires at least once a month and before every long trip. Changes in outdoor temperature can affect the rate at which your tire loses air. This change is more pronounced in hot weather. Generally speaking, a tire will lose one or two pounds of air per month in cool weather, and even more in warmer weather. You can not tell when tire pressure is too low by just looking. Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure, so inflate your tires pressure regularly and maintain the correct tire pressure.
