Checking your tire pressure should always be one of your top priorities when it comes to vehicle maintenance. With a few simple steps, you can easily check your tire pressure at a gas station with an air supply.
First, you should always park your car on a flat surface so that the tires are not at an angle. This will ensure that the tire pressure reading is accurate. It’s also important to check your tire pressure when the tires are cold, as a hot tire will give a false reading.

Next, you’ll want to locate the air pump at the gas station. Most pumps are located near the entrance of the gas station and will usually have a sign with instructions. Make sure the pump is turned off before attaching the hose to the tire valve stem.
Once the hose is attached, press the button on the air pump to start the airflow. You can adjust the pressure reading on the pump by turning the knob. Make sure to keep the pressure reading at the same level as the manufacturer’s recommendation.
Once the desired tire pressure has been achieved, you can remove the hose from the tire valve stem. Make sure to double-check the pressure reading to ensure it is accurate. Additionally, it’s a good idea to check the tire pressure for all four tires.
