How Do I Check My Tire Pressure?

You only need two tools to check your tire pressure — your auto manual and your pressure gauge. Begin by checking the manual for the tire pressure your vehicle should have, so you know what to compare the reading to. Then remove the valve cap on your tire — and store it somewhere safe! Place the tire pressure gauge to the now open valve stem, and allow for a few seconds to take the reading.

Look at the gauge to see if you’re falling within the guidelines for recommended pressure.  If you are, replace your cap and drive with peace of mind. If you’re outside the proper pressure level, it’s time to fill-up or let some air out.

How Do I Maintain My Tire Pressure?

You also want to take steps to care for your tire pressure before it poses a problem. You can do this by checking the pressure regularly, but especially before a big drive or in periods of temperature fluctuation. Extreme temperatures can cause the tires to lose pressure, which can affect the safety of your vehicle. It’s also important to schedule regular tire service and care with your Maserati team.
