It’s important to check your tire pressure regularly to minimize the risk of flats and –even worse – blowouts. Experts suggest checking tire pressure once a month. Not sure how? Not to worry – it only takes a few minutes. Follow these simple steps, or bring your car to one of your local Ed Payne McAllen, Mission or Brownsville car lots to speak to our service departments.

How to Check Your Tire Pressure:

  1. Remove the end caps from your tires, taking care not to misplace them.
  2. Take your tire pressure gauge and insert it into the valve stem, pressing down quickly.
  3. Check your tire pressure reading, and compare it to your vehicle’s recommended PSI. You may need to try several readings to find the accurate one.
  4. If your PSI reading is above what is recommended for your vehicle, push in the valve to let some air out. If it is below recommendation, fill your tire until you reach the proper level.
