How to check tire pressure

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tires

In this video we see how most cars actually travel on the road with the wrong tire pressure. Fortunately, those of the latest generation have the TPMS light that signals to the user when there are anomalies. We always remember that the pressure should be checked with cold tires; just driving two kilometers implies having to calculate 0.3 bar more than the pressure indicated by the manufacturer. This information can be found in the owner's manual and on the sticker located in the driver's door or on the fuel tank door. Even a slight difference in pressure between the right and left side will cause the car to "pull" to one side or the other. We can adjust the pressure at the gas station, usually these devices have instructions for use. The plastic valve caps are very important, as they serve to protect from dust.
