Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor or portable tire inflator, and a wrench for valve caps.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the tires are cold for accurate pressure readings.
2. Check and Inflate Tires
  1. Remove valve caps from each tire.
  2. Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire.
  3. Compare the readings to the recommended pressure (usually found on a sticker inside the driver's door).
  4. If any tire is below the recommended pressure:
    • Use an air compressor to inflate the tire to the correct pressure.
    • Re-measure to confirm accuracy.
  5. Replace the valve caps securely.
3. Inspect and Repair (if necessary)
  1. If a tire is damaged or has a puncture, inspect the tread and sidewalls closely.
  2. If a puncture is found, assess if it can be repaired or if the tire needs to be replaced.
  3. For repair:
    • Remove the tire from the wheel using a tire-changing machine.
    • Patch the puncture from inside and balance the tire before reinstalling.
  4. If replacement is necessary:
    • Remove the damaged tire and replace it with a new tire of the same size and type.
    • Ensure proper installation and torque the lug nuts to the specified value.
