Do you know what is frustrating? A flat tire. Do you know how to fix it? A tire pump! Well sort of. By maintaining the proper tire pressure in your tires, you can put a stop to uneven wear on your tires which will keep your tires in outstanding shape and avoid flats.
A tire with low tire pressure, either on a bike or a car, can also cause evils with fuel effectiveness. If tires are inadequately inflated, your MPG will reduce because your tires are less round and will need more power to move the motor vehicle. A outstanding tire pump, either manual or electric, will help you keep your tires inflated.
Did you know that most gas stations require a fee to pump your tires up? Last week I drove around the city and most gas stations were asking .75 cents for air. I thought this was amazing.
It is a good idea to check your tire pressure on a monthly basis. If your car is still under going scheduled maintenance, your dealer will probably blow up your tires to the required pressures. If it is not, you should be checking your tires monthly and go by the PSI values on your door jamb. It is alright if you surpass the recommended PSI, but be careful of going over the maximum rated pressure for the tire, which is listed as MAX PSI on your tire.
The same holds true for bicycle tires, which you will be using a bike tire pump. You can also use a 12v tire pump
