Man I gotta check😬
the dealer checks pressure when my car goes in for service, if the tire pressure light comes on I stop and they add air. if I get a flat they send a truck out and take care of it.

There’s only about 20 degrees difference between summer and winter here on average…tire pressure isn’t usually an issue 🤷‍♂
it was only flat on the bottom doesn't the air on top rotate as you drive

Happens almost every year. Dont forget the spare tire!
My car is in oieces at the mechanics. I wish I could fill my tyres

That's why your owner's manual tells you to check the tire pressure 'cold', not hot.

If you check the tire pressure when the tires are hot which means after the car has been driven a significant distance, the tire pressure will always be higher when hot, but the correct tire pressure is only attained when the tire is cold when the pressure is checked.

If the outside air temperature changes from summer to winter, that same temperature change effects the internal pressure of your tires as well, which means from hot to cold, the tire pressure will become lower than what's recommended in your owner's manual as a result of the lower outside air temperature.

My right rear tire has a small puncture. I’m too cheap to replace the tire so once a week I have to put air in it.

@Moneyonmymind Put a can of Slime in it. Problem solved 🤷‍♂

@Zaphod42 slime? What is this Nickelodeon 😂
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
@Zaphod42 I will replace the tire eventually

I had to do that this morning too. Sadly my front driver's tire was 10 psi low. I made an appointment to have it looked at. Better safe than sorry.
