If you check air pressures when the
tires are hot (driven for several
miles/kilometers), you will see
readings 4 to 6 psi (30 to 40 kPa, 0.3
to 0.4 kgf/cm ) higher than the cold
readings. This is normal. Do not let
air out to match the recommended
cold air pressure. The tire will
You should get your own tire
pressure gauge and use it whenever
you check your tire pressures. This
will make it easier for you to tell if a
pressure loss is due to a tire
problem and not due to a variation
between gauges.
While tubeless tires have some
ability to self-seal if they are
punctured, you should look
closely for punctures if a tire
starts losing pressure.
The following chart shows the
recommended cold tire pressures for
most normal driving conditions.
The compact spare tire pressure is:
Every time you check inflation, you
should also examine the tires for
damage, foreign objects, and wear.
You should look for:
Bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of the tire. Replace the tire if
you find either of these conditions.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side
of the tire. Replace the tire if you
can see fabric or cord.
Excessive tread wear.
For convenience, the recommended
tire sizes and cold tire pressures are
on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
