Using a car tire inflator is an easy way to maintain proper tire pressure and ensure safe driving. Keeping tires inflated to the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) can improve gas mileage, extend tire life, and prevent blowouts. With RONGPENG inflator, you can check and fill your tires anytime. Follow these simple steps for using a tire inflator properly.

First, locate the recommended tire pressure listed in your owner's manual or printed on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb. This number is the PSI you should inflate your tires to. It may vary between the front and rear tires. It's best to inflate tires when they are cool, before driving, so the tire pressure is accurate.

Next, remove the valve stem cap from the tire you are checking. Then press the inflator nozzle firmly over the valve stem to create a seal. Make sure the inflator is turned off before attaching it.

Now turn the inflator on and check the tire pressure gauge. If the number is lower than recommended, continue running the inflator to add air. If it's higher, briefly press the deflation button to release excess pressure.

When inflating, add air in short bursts and recheck the pressure often. Going well above the recommended PSI can damage the tire.

Once you reach the target number, turn off the inflator and disconnect it from the valve stem. Make sure to put the valve stem cap back on. This helps keep out dirt and moisture.

Repeat these steps for each tire, including the spare if equipped. Always check the sidewalls for any damage like bulges or cracks before inflating.

Periodically check tire pressure. Tires naturally lose pressure over time, so check them at least monthly. Inspect tires regularly for damage and tread wear. Maintaining proper inflation promotes safety, maximizes tire life, and saves fuel.

Some tips for proper tire inflation:

Check pressures when the tires are cold, meaning before you have driven or the car has sat in the sun. Heat causes PSI to rise.

Invest in a high quality gauge for accuracy. The ones built into inflators may not be as reliable.

Don't bleed pressure from warm tires to reach the recommended PSI. The pressure will drop naturally as they cool.

Refer to the owner's manual for proper tire size and inflation. Don't exceed the maximum pressure listed.

Consider buying a portable inflator to keep in your vehicle. This makes checking and filling easier.

If a tire is low, inspect the valve stem and seal for leaks. A few soapy bubbles can identify the source.

Visit a tire shop annually and whenever you replace tires to have them properly balanced and rotated. This promotes even wear.

Always keep the spare tire inflated in case of a flat. Nothing is worse than a deflated spare when you need it.
