HOW TO INFLATE YOUR TIRES

You are on the road, now you are at a location that provides a free air pump,
what do you do?

 * Check the Tire Pressure: Start by checking your owner's manual or a sticker
   located on the driver's side door jam (car) or along the tire sidewall
   (bicycle) for the correct tire pressure.
 * Remove the Valve Cap: Unscrew the valve cap on the tire that you want to
   inflate. Set the cap aside (put it in your pocket is better, trust me...) so
   you don't lose it.
 * Check the Air Pressure: While it might be obvious that your tire is
   underinflated, it is a good idea to know how much air pressure you have
   before adding more.
 * Attach the Air Hose: Attach the air hose from the air compressor or air pump
   to the valve stem on the tire. You might lose a little air as you do this -
   don't worry, just make sure the hose is securely attached to the valve stem
   to prevent air from escaping. You should NOT hear a hissing sound if the air
   hose is attached properly.
 * Inflate the Tire: Turn on the air compressor or air pump and begin inflating
   the tire. You can use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure
   periodically and ensure that you are inflating the tire to the correct
   pressure. I suggest counting as you inflate the tire. Hold on to that thought
   for just a minute.
 * Check the Pressure: Once you have reached think you have reached the
   recommended tire pressure, turn off the air compressor or air pump and remove
   the air hose from the valve stem. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the
   pressure in the tire and make sure it matches the recommended pressure.
   ***See calculator below***
 * Replace the Valve Cap: Once you have finished inflating the tire, replace the
   valve cap. This will help prevent dirt and debris from getting into the valve
   stem and causing damage to the tire.
 * Repeat for Other Tires: Repeat these steps for each tire on your vehicle,
   checking the recommended tire pressure and inflating each tire to the correct
   pressure.

*** (1) If you know how much air pressure you have when you start and (2) you
keep track how much time you took to inflate the tire (3) then measure the air
pressure after, you can do some math gymnastics to figure out how much pressure
per second you are inflating so when you inflate some more to get to your target
pressure you can 'guesstimate' how long it will take. Don't worry about this...
calculator below helps you out :)

WHY PROPER TIRE PRESSURE IS IMPORTANT

In case you need a reason to keep your tires properly inflated (that's why you
are here, right?)...

This is specific to automobiles. With the exception of improved fuel efficiency,
these also applies to bicycle tires.

 * Improved Fuel Efficiency: No suprises here. When your tires are
   underinflated, they create more rolling resistance, which makes your engine
   work harder to move the vehicle. This can result in decreased fuel efficiency
   and increased fuel costs. Properly inflated tires can help improve fuel
   efficiency and save you money in the long run.
 * Better Handling: Properly inflated tires provide better handling and
   stability on the road. Underinflated tires can cause your vehicle to feel
   sluggish and unresponsive, making it more difficult to control.
 * Improved Safety: Properly inflated tires are essential for safe driving.
   Underinflated tires can cause blowouts, reduce traction, and make it more
   difficult to stop your vehicle in an emergency. Properly inflated tires can
   help reduce the risk of accidents and keep you and your passengers safe on
   the road.
 * Longer Tire Life: Tires that are underinflated wear out faster than properly
   inflated tires. This is because the sidewalls of the tire flex more than they
   should, which can cause the tire to overheat and wear out faster. Properly
   inflated tires can help extend the life of your tires and save you money on
   replacement costs.
