Thread: Tire Pressure

Hi guys! I assume you always check your engine most of the times to maintain it properly right? And you only give attention to your tires when they're flat or losing air. Well, one of the best ways to maintain your tire is to always check them properly. Car tires should not be over-flated or deflated. Your tires would quickly be broken if you don't check them that.

You are right there, takatenamano. It is always important to check your tire presssure. It can affect your gas mileage too.

Its very very important to check the tires before u get the stearing..because...they only roll you to your destination

I used to check my car tires once in a blue moon. By the way, where you able to encountered this in your tire that they seems to vibrate when you are driving?

I wonder if that would mean that you need to have your wheels aligned? I'd say that's something that should be looked into soon.

Also, have you heard that the age of tires can cause them to fail? I saw a TV news report on someone who was suing because they bought "new" tires that had been on the shelf for years and failed.

Of course, we really have to check our car's tire before using it. This is one of the most important thing that a driver should do to his/her car. I had actually experienced that tire vibration, bethoven. Well, what do you think is the best way for that? Do you think your tire needs more or lessen its air?

In my experience, tire vibrations are caused by two things: unequal tire pressure in any one of the tires and loose nuts on the wheel.

It depends on your wheel size. Are they stock 15 inch or 16 inch? The 16 inch rims have shorter sidewall tires and require a higher tire pressure 50 to 55 lbs. 15 inch rims only require 33 to 38 lbs because the sidewalls are taller and can take more of a hit. So it depends on your tires. You should not have to put air in them every couple of weeks. So you probably have a small leak. Also, tire pressure can change with the outdoor temperature. As it gets colder your tires will deflate as cold air compresses. The hotter it is the more air will expand and increase your tire pressure

Well, Its very very important to check the tires before u get the stearing.
