Tire pressure gauge

Optimal tire inflation is important for performance, fuel economy and safety, and it’s important to check them every time the temperature changes significantly. Keep on your toolbox a tire pressure gauge to have your tires set to whatever your vehicle’s manufacture’s recommendation is.

Your tires are the legs of your vehicle, always remember to check with a professional your tires and spare tire and their condition regularly, this inspection can be a lifesaver!

 

 

Check your tire balancing (Not a tool)
