To check the tyre pressure on a vehicle, use a tool called a pressure gauge, which can be purchased online from various retailers or at auto parts shops. The pressure gauge connects to the valve of the tyre and allows you to increase or decrease the pressure based on the indicated value.

Check the tyre pressure every four weeks and when the tyres are cold. The correct pressure is specified by the vehicle manufacturer and is found in the owner's manual and on stickers located on the driver's side door.
