How to Check the Air Pressure in Your Tires

Most new vehicles include a tire pressure monitoring system that can tell you when one or more of your tires is low on air, but this system won’t be of much use if you’re not sure what to do when the light comes on! Our step-by-step guide lays out the details:

1. Check the sticker in your driver’s side door jamb to find your vehicle’s recommended tire pressure, or contact our team for assistance.
2. Pick up a tire pressure gauge at our parts department, and insert it into each tire to find out which tires have low pressure.
3. Use an air compressor to refill your tires, checking the pressure as you go. If you don’t have access to an air compressor, you can often find one at gas stations in Madison and Brandon.

Although it’s a good idea to check your tire pressure on a monthly basis, we’ll also check your pressure whenever you schedule service.

Prolong the Life of Your Tires with Proper Tire Care

Although checking your air pressure at home is an important part of any tire care routine, drivers who want to maximize the lifespan of their tires can get even better results by working with a service team like our own. Here, we’ve highlighted a few of the services that will help you get more out of every new set:

• Tire Rotation: Regular tire rotations even out the treadwear between your tires, thereby ensuring that none of your tires will wear out prematurely.
• Wheel Alignment: Hitting a curb or a pothole can misalign your wheels. You might notice that this causes your vehicle to pull to one side—but you should also know that misaligned wheels lead to uneven tread wear and lower tire lifespans.
• Wheel Balancing: When your vehicle’s weight is distributed evenly across all four tires, you’re less likely to find that one or more of your tires wears down faster than the others.

When you take good care of your tires, you’ll be safer in all conditions. You’ll also have better traction—and you may even notice that your fuel economy improves as a result!

When Is It Time to Get a New Set of Tires?

We’re Jackson’s foremost source for genuine INFINITI tires, but we can help you find a new set no matter what kind of vehicle you drive. Of course, you’ll need to know when to schedule replacement no matter what kind of tires you’re replacing!

The U.S. Department of Transportation recommends that tires be replaced when the tread depth drops to 2/32 of an inch or less. Most new tires include tread wear bars that will tell you when it’s time to make a switch, but you can also check your depth with a tire tread gauge. 

No tread gauge? Be on the lookout for the following warning signs:

• If you’ve been driving on a spare, visit our tire center at the earliest opportunity! Most spares are only good for fifty miles or so.
• If you notice cracks in the sidewall of your tire, you’re overdue for replacement.
• Uneven tread wear can cause a vehicle to shake or vibrate as you drive in Jackson and Ridgeland. Tire rotation or replacement can help.

Ultimately, your tires are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road—and they’re one of your vehicle’s most important safety features. If you have any reservations about the quality of your tires, don’t wait to secure a new set.
