How do you inflate car tires at home?
The news said snow is on the way. My winter tires need some air. How can I inflate my car tires at home?

Very smart of you to think of this now before the snow. To inflate your tires at home, you’ll need:
- Tire pressure gauge
- Tire inflator or an air compressor
Once you have your supplies:
- Check either online or your manual to see what the ideal air pressure or PSI is for your tires.
- Check how much air your tires currently have with the tire pressure gauge.
- Remove the cap of the tire, attach either the inflator or compressor, and add air. As long as the tire wasn’t fully flat, it shouldn’t take long.
- Make sure to check the gauge consistently. You don’t over or underinflate your tires.
You should be all set! If you notice your tires still seem underinflated, consider visiting a
auto repair shop
