If you check the pressure when the
tires are hot [driven for several miles
(kilometers)], you will see readings 4
to6psi(30to40kPa,0.3to0.4
kgf/cm ) higher than the cold
reading. This is normal; do not
release air to match the cold
pressure.
Every time you check inflation, you
should also examine the tires for
damage, foreign objects, and wear.
Youshouldlookfor:
Excessive tread wear.
Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side
of the tire. Replace the tire if you
can see fabric or cord.
Bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of the tire. Replace the tire if

pressure gauge and use it whenever
you check your tire pressures. This
will make it easier for you to tell if a
pressure loss is due to a tire problem
and not due to a variation between
gauges.
While tubeless tires have some
ability to self-seal if they are
punctured, you should look closely
for punctures if a tire starts losing
pressure.
For convenience, the recommended
tire sizes and cold tire pressures are
on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
This chart shows the recommended
cold tire pressures for most normal
and high speed driving conditions.
