Question 5902
How often should you check the tire pressure on your vehicle?
- Only when you are going to take a long trip.
- Once or twice a month with the tires cold.
- Once or twice a month with the tires warm.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Once or twice a month with the tires cold.
Check the pressure once or twice a month, with the tires cold. When they are hot, the air has expanded and the gauge reads higher than the actual pressure. You should also check it before a long trip, but checking only then is not enough.
