Note that it is important to check your tyres inflation including the spare tyre at least once a month with an accurate tyre pressure gauge. With the right amount of air pressure, your tyres wear longer, save fuel, enhance handling and prevent accidents. If you consider the liabilities of not maintaining the correct air pressure -- poor fuel mileage, loss of tyre life, bad handling (perhaps even loss of control), and potential vehicle overloading -- then the need to routinely checking of your tyre inflation will become clearer.

Where To Find Air Pressure Information?

The correct air pressure may be found in the vehicle owner's manual or on the tyre sticker (attached to the vehicle door edge, doorpost, glove box door or fuel door). If you cannot find the air pressure information Fulda advises you to, contact a local tyre dealer for assistance.

How To Check Air Pressure?

Many people believe that they can check air pressure just by looking at the tyre and judging the sidewall appearance. However properly checking tyre pressure requires an accurate air gauge. Note that air meters at service stations, can be grossly inaccurate due to exposure or abuse. The best way to check your tyre pressure is to visit your nearest tyre dealer.

When checking your vehicle's tyre pressure, make sure the tyres are "cold". Cold air pressure means that the vehicle has not yet been driven (remember that driving on a tyre increases its temperature and air pressure).
