Do you know what is frustrating? A flat tire. Do you know how to mend it? A tire pump! Well sort of. By maintaining the exact tire pressure in your tires, you can avoid uneven wear on your tires which will keep your tires in outstanding shape and put a stop to flats.

A tire with low tire pressure, either on a bike or a car, can also cause harms with fuel efficiency. If tires are inadequately inflated, your MPG will diminish because your tires are less round and will need more oomph to move the vehicle. A good tire pump, either manual or an electric pump, will help you keep your tires inflated.

Did you know that most fuel stations require a fee to pump your tires up? Last week I drove around the city and most gas stations were requiring .75 cents for air. I thought this was unbelievable.

It is a good idea to check your tire pressure on a monthly basis. If your car is still under going routine maintenance, your dealer will probably pump 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 exceedgo beyond 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
