Check Your Tire Pressure

No but seriously. Check your tire pressure. Hi, Rudy here with your weekly automotive tip (haha). Going down the road I cringe every time I see a poorly inflate tire bulging out at the bottom due to the extreme weight of what's above it. Ironically the driver most likely complains about his poor gas mileage. Did you know that if your tires are properly filled your gas mileage could improve by up to five miles per gallon? For some reason people look at airing up their tires as this big monstrous task that maybe they should just leave up to their mechanic. Well uh, it doesn't require a lift or anything crazy like that! Just a compressor. If you or your father doesn't have one you can find one at most local gas stations, car washes, and any place where cars are serviced. Be sure to also have a tire pressure gauge as well. To find what pressure (psi) is optimal for your tires just look at the face of them. Somewhere you'll see the reccomended pressure. After finding this check what the current pressure rating is by using your pressure gauge. If it's low, put a little air in and recheck the gauge, if it's too high do the exact opposite!  Expect to spend up to a minute or so on each tire. I recommend checking them every week or so, it just takes five minutes. Filling up your tires to the right pressure will only make them last longer, perform better and save you some gas money so go and check yours right now, RIGHT NOW I SAID!
