However, the easiest and most efficient way is to check up with a reliable tire pressure gauge. They can be bought cheaply in any well-stocked auto parts store since they are so cheap. Here’s how to use one:
1. Park the car in a dry place and cool the tires for three hours before driving.
2. First, check for a sticker containing the recommended tire pressure for your car. This is typically located in the door jamb on the driver’s side and/or in the owner’s manual.
3. Unscrew the valve cover and push the filler tube straight onto the tire’s valve stem.
4. Press the pressure gauge against the valve stem; the indicator will indicate the exact tire pressure.
5. Read the gauge, buy air according to the pressure, and adjust when needed.

Most vehicles of the modern age are equipped with the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), which uses sensors to monitor the air pressure in each tire or vehicle. Here’s how you can test them:
1. Identify the TPMS sensor on every tire by looking closely at the valve stem or wheel rim where they’re typically attached.
2. Diagnose the wheel sensors separately by scanning them with a TPMS diagnostic tool ( most auto parts stores sell them). The sensors’ functionality will be checked.
3. If a sensor does not function properly, it can be due to faulty circuitry that may require substitution.
In addition to using a tire pressure gauge or testing the TPMS sensors, there are a few other methods to check tire pressure:
1. Visual inspection: Even though it is not as precise as a pressure gauge, sometimes you can see from the posture of a tire that it is not correctly inflated, bulging and has a “squatting” visual.
2. Tread depth measurement: Tires that are underinflated tend to wear down quickly, so tread checks would indicate probable pressure issues.
3. Professional service: Automobile repair shops and tire centres frequently offer pressure checks as part of their services.

Precise time to check tire pressure?
Check tire pressure when tires are cold, typically in the morning or after at least three hours of inactivity.
Replenishing air in hot tires?
It’s not recommended; if necessary, inflate to 4 psi above the recommended cold pressure and recheck when tires are cold.
Steps to turn off TPMS warning lamp?
Start the car, drive at 15 mph for 10-20 minutes, or use the TPMS reset button by pressing it until the light blinks three times, then restart the car.
