Tires (Inspecting/Replacing)
❙ Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tires and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tires look low. Always check air pressure when
your tires are cold.
Inspecting for Damage
❙
Inspect the tires for
cuts, slits, or cracks
that exposes fabric or
cords, or nails or
other foreign objects
embedded in the side
of the tire or the
tread. Also inspect for the bumps or bulges in
the side walls of the tires.
