As winter approaches, it's important not to overlook the importance of checking your tires. Cold temperatures cause air molecules to contract, leading to decreased tire pressure and potential driving challenges. Let's address this winter pressure drop to ensure optimal performance and safety.

How to Adjust Tire Pressure in Colder Weather:

Check Your Vehicle's Recommended Tire Pressure:

Begin by finding the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle. Consult your Mazda owner's manual or the sticker inside your driver's door jamb. Note that this recommendation may not apply if you have aftermarket tires.

Use a Quality Tire Pressure Gauge:

Equip yourself with a reliable tire pressure gauge, whether digital or analog, to ensure accuracy. Each tire, including the spare, should undergo individual pressure checks.

Check Tire Pressure Regularly:

Cold weather can impact tire pressure, so monitor it regularly, particularly after significant temperature changes. A quick weekly inspection keeps your tires in top condition. Consider more frequent checks in areas with significant temperature variations.

Where To Pump Your Tires:

Numerous gas stations provide free or low-cost air pumps for quick tire top-ups. Keep spare change on hand for any charges. Alternatively, consider investing in a portable air compressor for convenient tire inflation in your garage or driveway.

Remember, maintaining proper tire pressure in winter is essential for safe driving. Follow these guidelines to confidently navigate winter roads. For any inquiries, visit our Mazda dealership – we're here to assist you in driving with confidence in freezing conditions.
