How to adjust car tyre pressure

Having the right tire pressure is crucial to driving performance. It is as important as having water and oil in the car, but it is often neglected because it is out of sight and out of mind. There are no flashing lights to let you know when your tire pressure is too low or too high, so it is up to you to stay on top of it.
Failure to ensure correct tire pressure can lead to:
Decreased Fuel Efficiency
This can be a killer in today's economy. Adjusting your type pressure is a free way to make your fuel go further, and it only takes ten minutes at your local gas station.

Premature Wear

 Unless you've got money to burn you're not going to want to buy new tires more often than you have to.
Accidents
A blowout, or a loss of grip caused by prematurely worn tires can lead to fatal consequences.

How To Check Tire Pressure
Step One
Ascertain what the correct pressure for your tires is. This information can be found on the side of the tyre. Tyre pressure is often expressed in an acceptable range of pressures rather than a single specific number. Filling your tires to the lower end of this number range will give you greater grip by making your tires a little 'softer'.
Step Two
Your tire stems will have rubber caps on them. Remove these before attempting to change your tire pressure.
Step Three
Set the gauge on the air compressor to your desired number.
Step Four
Connect the nozzle to the tire. You will hear a rush of air when it first connects. This should stop when a seal is formed.
Step Five
Let the air compressor do its thing. When your tire is at the correct pressure, remove the nozzle swiftly.
Step Six
Screw those rubber caps back on the stem, repeat three times, and drive safely.
