Tire Pressure and Temperature Changes
Tire Pressure and Temperature Changes
October temperature drops affect tire pressure! For every 10-degree temperature decrease, tire pressure drops 1-2 PSI. Under-inflated tires reduce fuel economy, wear unevenly, and increase blowout risk.
Check tire pressure monthly using a quality gauge when tires are cool (not driven for 3+ hours). Don't rely on dashboard warning systems - they activate only when pressure is dangerously low. Proper inflation extends tire life and improves safety. Most Dallas gas stations have free air pumps, but many don't work properly. Invest in a portable compressor for reliable maintenance!
