Your tires do more than just roll you place to place. They affect how your car handles, how much fuel you use, and how safe your ride feels. Checking tire pressure is a small task that can make a big difference. If you're in Brookshire, Katy, Fulshear, Cinco Ranch, Richmond, and Rosenberg, this quick guide from Brookshire Hyundai will show you how to do it the right way at home.
What to Have on Hand Before You Begin:
1. A way to check the air in your tires (a pressure checker works well)
2. Something to add air, like a pump at home or one from a Brookshire gas station
3. The air pressure number that’s right for your Hyundai
Step 1: Let the Car Rest
Check the air when your car has been parked for a few hours. If the tires are warm from driving, the pressure reading might not be correct.
Step 2: Find the Right Number
Open the driver’s door and look for a label near the frame. It tells you how much air your front and back tires need.
Step 3: Read the Pressure
Take the little cap off the tire’s air spot. Push your pressure checker onto it and see what number shows up. A soft hissing sound is normal.
Step 4: Adjust the Air
See how your number compares to the number on the label. If it's too low, add a little air. If it’s too high, let some out and check again.
Step 5: Close it Up
Put the cap back on when you’re done. Then move on to the next tire and do the same.
