Tire Pressure

GET TO KNOW YOUR TIRES - ALL ABOUT THAT PRESSURE

WHAT IS MY CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE?

Your recommended tire pressure is located on a sticker in the driver's door jamb or fuel-filler door. This is the ideal pressure for the tires used on your specific model vehicle. The pressure indicated on your tire wall is the maximum allowable tire pressure, not the recommended pressure. If you are having problems with maintaining tire pressure or if you notice any unusual or uneven wear or damage to your tires, give us a call at 204-728-3396 as soon as possible.

WHAT IF MY TIRE PRESSURE IS TOO LOW?

If your tires are under-inflated, too much of your tire is in contact with the road. This makes your tire hot and may result in overheating. In the worst case scenario, this may cause tire failure. Under-inflation also increases tire wear on the tread at the edges and decreases your fuel economy.

WHAT IF MY TIRE PRESSURE IS TOO HIGH?

If your tire pressure is too high, your tires are over-inflated and have less contact with the road. This gives you less grip, traction and power, and increases your effective stopping distance. Over-inflation also increases tire wear in the center portion of the tread and exposes your tires to damage from objects on the road and potholes. Your ride won't be nearly as comfortable either because your tires will be "bouncing" on the road.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE?

Typically tire pressure should be checked at least once a month as tires that are not properly inflated can compromise both the handling and safety of your vehicle.
