As winter draws near, it’s crucial not to overlook the importance of tire inspections. Cold temperatures cause air molecules to contract, leading to reduced tire pressure and potential driving challenges. Let’s address this seasonal pressure drop to ensure peak performance and safety.
How to Adjust Tire Pressure in Colder Weather:
Check Your Vehicle’s Recommended Tire Pressure:
Begin by identifying the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle. Consult your INFINITI owner’s manual or the sticker located inside your driver’s door jamb. Note that this recommendation may not be applicable if you have aftermarket tires.
Use a Quality Tire Pressure Gauge:
Equip yourself with a reliable tire pressure gauge, whether digital or analog, to ensure precision. Each tire, including the spare, deserves an individual pressure check.
Check Tire Pressure Regularly:
Cold weather has a noticeable impact on tire pressure, so monitor it consistently, especially after significant temperature changes. A quick weekly checkup ensures your tires stay in optimal condition. Consider more frequent inspections in regions with substantial temperature fluctuations.
Where To Pump Your Tires:
Many gas stations offer free or low-cost air pumps for quick tire top-ups. Keep spare change on hand to cover any potential fees. Alternatively, consider investing in a portable air compressor for convenient tire inflation in your garage or driveway.
Remember, maintaining proper tire pressure in winter is crucial for safe driving. Follow these steps to confidently navigate winter roads. For any inquiries, visit our INFINITI dealership – we’re here to assist you in driving with confidence in freezing conditions.
