Tire Pressure… Do you need to check it and when?

Flat tires, shredded tires or blown tires. No one likes the stress of any one of them. So, what can you do to limit the interruption of a flat or tire replacement? Firstly, try not to run over objects on the road, curb the wheels of your car or perform twirling smoke show burnouts. Secondly, take your vehicle to a trusted automotive facility that performs regular multi-point inspections and thirdly, replace worn or damaged tires.


But does checking the tire pressure help too? Do cars even come without tire pressure monitor sensors that tell you when you have a tire problem?

The truth is technology today has greatly improved our ability to monitor our vehicles' performances from the engine, to the power train, to the emission systems to even the tires. However, it is still important to check your tire pressure periodically. Especially when the weather changes a season, you intended to travel long distances, or you have driven over an object on the road.
