Tips to Check and Maintain the Air Pressure in Your Tires

"Tire pressure Honda" aren't words most people would string together, but the certified, factory-trained technicians in our Honda service center firmly believe they go hand-in-hand perfectly. Your tires are arguably the hardest working components on your vehicle, and they're the only parts that make contact with the road. Without the proper pressure, you may end up contacting Gillman Honda San Antonio to order new tires long before you should have to.

When and How to Check Your Air Pressure

Many drivers don't realize it, but the average tire loses about one pound of pressure per square inch every month. When the temperature is extreme, your tire pressure may change even more dramatically in a shorter period of time. Whenever the temperature fluctuates by just 10 degrees Fahrenheit, your tire pressure can change by as much as one PSI.

Whether you drive a new Honda vehicle or you plan to purchase one of the used trucks on our lot, it's critical for you to check your tire pressure regularly. The general rule of thumb is to check your tire pressure every time you fill up with gas or once per month. Of course, if the temperature changes significantly, you might want to check your air pressure more often.

Visiting our Honda parts center is a good idea if you plan to check your tire pressure frequently. All you need to check your air pressure is a tire pressure gauge, which you can pick up at our location. If the gauge's reading doesn't match the recommended PSI for a given tire, you may need to release or add pressure with an air compressor.

How to Maintain Tire Pressure

Checking your air pressure regularly and adjusting it as necessary will help you maintain the appropriate amount of pressure in your tires. Similarly, inspecting and caring for your tires will help too. Before you hit the road, inspect your tires to ensure they're not punctured. Keep up with the service recommendations in your routine maintenance schedule to help your tires wear evenly and remain durable enough to maintain the proper air pressure.
