Check tire inflation pressures (including the spare) at least once a month
when tires are cold & before long trips.
Failure to maintain correct inflation may cause rapid & irregular tire
wear, sudden tire destruction & may result in loss of vehicle control &
serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation pressures should be checked at least once a month
& always prior to long distance trips. Any tire is
susceptible to losing air pressure if not properly maintained.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold; in other words, before they
have been driven on. Driving, even for a short distance, causes tires to heat up
& air pressure to increase. Tires run even short distances while severely under inflated may be damaged beyond repair.
