Are You Inflating Your Tyres Correctly- Houston Auto Web
One of the most important parts of regular car maintenance and care is correctly monitoring and filling your tyres. However, maintaining proper tyre pressure is essential to your safety and to the road performance of your Hyundai car. Correct tyre inflation enhances your car's handling and control, increases fuel efficiency, increases tyre life, and lowers the possibility of blowouts and accidents. Make it a practice to regularly check your tyres for inflation by doing so when you refuel. The amount of driving you do, how much weight your car is towing, the weather, and how drastically the seasons change will all affect how often you need to fill your tires. Checking them no less than once a month is a decent rule of thumb.
Examining Tyre
Pressure
Keep the PSI of your tyres at the prescribed level. This varies from
car to automobile, depending on the manufacturer of the vehicle and the size of
your tyres. The tyre placard, which may be kept in the glove box or one of the
front door holes, or your car's owner manual can both be used to determine the
recommended PSI. Avoid the mistake of utilizing the maximum PSI indicated on
the sidewall of the tyre, as overinflated tyres deteriorate more quickly.
Remember that the pressure in your front and rear tyres may vary when
you inflate your tyres. The majority of gas stations have to include air
hoses and tyre pressure gauges. However, if you're going on a road trip and
utilizing a portable pump, it's a good idea to purchase your own
mechanical/pneumatic gauge for readings that are more accurate.
How To Properly
Inflate Your Tires
Here is the proper technique to inflate your tyres, whether
you're using a foot pump, a 12-bolt air compressor, or any other method:
- First, open
the air valve cover on your tyre.
- Look at the
pressure reading on the gauge after firmly pressing the tyre pressure
gauge onto the tyre valve.
- If the tyre
pressure is below the recommended PSI, connect the air hose to the tyre
valve and pump air into the tyre until it is inflated to the proper
pressure.
- After that,
check the pressure once more using the tyre pressure gauge. The tyre may
momentarily read more pressure than it actually is after being filled.
Each tyre will return to normal pressure in about one or two minutes.
- Reattach the
cap to the tyre air valve once the tyres are properly inflated.
Use caution when using an air compressor because they frequently heat
up during inflation to the point where they are dangerous to handle.
Additionally, some air compressors will shut off if they get too hot. Don't
forget to check the pressure in your spare tyre when inspecting and adjusting
the pressure in your other tyres.
