How to Check Tire Pressure

Hi! This is John on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this video clip, I will show you how to check for proper tire pressure. The first thing you need to do is check to see what the tire pressure should be and if you take a look at the inside of your drivers side door here, many times it will tell you what it is supposed to be. If you take a look at this model, it shows that the front tires are supposed to be 35 pounds per square inch, the rear tires are supposed to be 35 pounds per square inch and the spare tire should be 60 PSI. The next thing you need to do is locate your valve stem and remove the valve stem cap. After that, you will want to get your tire pressure gauge and press it securely onto the valve stem. Once I get my reading, I see that it says it is 20 lbs. per square inch and it is supposed to be 35 so that is quite a bit low.
