If you love driving your Jeep® Cherokee on the road and off, then you know the importance of tire care. A Jeep SUV only performs as well as its tires do. So, whether you’re just heading on your normal commute or off on an adventure, it’s critical to maintain good tire wear. So are regular rotations at Champion Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM, your local Huntington Beach Jeep service center.
Tire Care Is Essential for the Best Ride
If your tires are not performing, then it can impact just about every aspect of your Jeep Cherokee. Because tires hit the road or other surfaces, it makes sense to ensure they are the right, recommended inflation. You should really check the pound per square inch (PSI) of your tires regularly. Each vehicle has its own unique PSI, based on the weight and size of the vehicle as well as towing capacity. You may also notice that there are different ratings based on the temperature. Take a reading when your tires are cold and haven’t been on the road for the most accurate reading.
How to Check Tire Pressure in Your Jeep Cherokee
First, you should determine the correct PSI for your Jeep Cherokee, which is available on the label on the driver door. Front and rear tires have different PSIs. Next, you’ll take off the air valve end caps. Insert the tire pressure gauge into the valve stem. Press down for the reading. Check the reading with the recommended PSI. If the number is higher, let some of the air out. If the number is below, fill it up with air until you hit the right PSI. You’ll need to check each tire.
