Check owners manual for tyre pressures
You should check the pressure of your tyres, including the spare, once a week. Correct tyre pressures result in optimized braking, handling, grip and fuel efficiency. Low tyre pressure will increase your cars fuel consumption, shorten the life of the tyre and increase risk of tyre failure. High tyre pressure will cause diminished grip, reduce stability in braking and cornering and increase risk of impact tyre damage. You must check tyre pressure only when the tyres are cold. Warm tyres, archived by driving no more than a few miles, will provide a false reading. The correct tyre pressure for your particular car will be listed in the owners manual.
