How To: Fill Your Cars Tires With Air At The Gas Station

Warning: Never Fill Above MAX, If you have after market rims check tires for MAX, if you have stock tires also look on the inside door of Drivers door for pressure for your stock tires.

Don't inflate your tires to the air pressure listed on the tire. Refer to your vehicle's recommended tire pressure specifications, usually listed on a sticker inside the door, gas cap or in the owner's manual.

[@musfun]

@@user5214 ohh I see thank you!

[@unrequitednuance]

No, he doesn’t mean that. He means that the max pressure, determined by the tire manufacturer, is the most pressure the tire is designed to handle before you risk compromising its structural integrity. Operating pressure, determined by the car manufacturer, is the ideal pressure the tires should be inflated to for that specific vehicle. The same model of tire can go on many different vehicles, and the same tire may need to be at 35 on one vehicle and 32 on another. By inflating to the max pressure, you leave no room for the tires to warm up and the air, and therefore pressure, inside to expand.

[@nomooon]

holy **** this is the best and most clear instruction video I have seen in a long time

[@RaoulRamsaran]

It's very bad and very dangerous information. I hope in the 9 years that have passed you didn't have any accidents thanks to this dumbass

[@cammaida5137]

NEVER inflate your tires to the max psi that is an accident just waiting to happen, especially at highway speeds. You always inflate to the recommended pressure, which is usually between 30 and 35 psi at most.

[@takeoverjupiter]

Recomended pressure is actually located in the door frame and it differes from car to car

[@blah7983]

Mines 38/36 for the front and back tires as the minimum. And it’s a little sedan. Varies by car.

[@wheezin_mtnbkr3576]

Tire Psi is determined by the weight of the vehicle, the manufacturer of the car did the math and the correct pressure is in the door jam. The pressure on the tire is the max pressure the tire can handle, but because the tire manufacturer has no idea what car the tire is going on, they cannot provide you the optimum pressure for a specific vehicle. The number on the side wall of the tire is to warn you that if your door jam sticker requires a higher psi than the max pressure the tire can handle - then your tire is not strong enough for this car.

[@humanentity2214]

TheSolitaryObserver absolutely correct. the correct vehicle tire pressure is on the driver door at the bottom and that should be used, not the one on the tire

[@Anna-tc6rz]

Thank you! Was wondering why they were 2 different numbers. Went with the one on the door since it was smaller

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Don't follow this video

[@yorkcountytiresales4957]

IMPORTANT! !!!!! ********* Don't listen to this guy. Car tires should NOT BE filled to max psi. This can be extremely dangerous as you are decreasing the contact patch of the tire tread on the road. This can cause you to lose control of your vehicle!!!! There are a few situations where you would fill tires to max psi. Trailers tires are one example of this

[@jacquelinelundell1090]

yes usually the optimum amount is in the door on the sticker or in the manual

[@bbypink9844]

Thank you for this video, and also thanks to the commenters…. Had no idea the recommended psi was on the side of my door all this time! It is super easy!

[@Amycambridge-o3b]

When my car gave me a warning message low tire pressure. I decided to fix it myself this time. So I watched your video, went to a gas station and filled all my four tires to 51 psi, which is the max. Then I called my boyfriend to brag about it, which scared him to death. He asked me to drive as slow as I can to a nearest gas station and release all four to 32, which I did. Boys and girls, if it is your first time to fill air in your tire, do not trust this video please. NEVER fill to the maximum!

[@Steellune]

Dude 10 years later and this just came in super helpful thank you so much!

[@MrDallascowboysfan88]

Do not fill your tires to the max psi, they build pressure with heat so after driving a bit you'll be over the max psi

[@jazminediaz8888]

Thank you! Just got a car a few months ago and I was not taught how to fill the tires, this was very helpful!

[@Mtabus1245]

Wow you are awesome !!! Clear and easy instructions. I was always scared to full up my tires and paid 5 for some one to do it. Thanks !!!!

[@nietzschebietzsche]

Honestly, I feel slightly embarrassed when I have to search things like this, so I'm grateful for tutorials like these! I guess you could say I'm more "book smart" and I sometimes become apprehensive trying to figure out all the things that normal people already know how to do.

[@Jia1337]

Also note that you shouldn't trust the gas station tire pump's readings. Always use your personal gauge first before heading out. If your trusted gauge reads 28 and the station's gauge reads 26 but your rec tire pressure is 33, just pump it up to 31 at the gas station. Then use your own gauge to see if the tires are at 33. Just saying.

[@SebastianTysler]

You should inflate the tires not according to max what they can handle but according to what your car manufacturer wrote on the side of the driver's door. It is usually 32PSI (in all cars that I have seen so far).

[@SebastianTysler]

@SwallowingTheRabbitWhole follow whatever manufacturer recommended. If it says 34 then inflate to 34 psi.

[@lesihei6869]

It is June 2022. I am familiar with pumping my car with air. However, it's been a while and I'm driving my dad's car and was afraid of pumping the air myself. Lol. But I wanted to do it before giving his car back to him. I forgot how to use the air pump gage thing, so I googled quickly for times sake and your video popped up first. Thanks for your resource as it saved me time to look into it more.

[@hoyohoyohehe]

It's better to bring your own air PSI gauge (Mine cost $2.50 at a local auto store) to measure since some of the gas station's air pumper's psi gauge either doesn't do accurate measurement or it got stuck.

[@bluecheryl2114]

Thank you. I'd forgotten how to use ths type of air machine. I've been spoiled by the air machine that you plug in the amount, and it's done automatically.

[@julyly1407]

[@dudfourthree]

Recommended PSI remains the same regardless of the tire you are using on your vehicle. Always fill to recommended pressure, not to max.

[@NaturallyKristen86]

Thank you!!! My husband normally does it but I need to learn too!! ❤

[@justcuzimbored]

ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!! READ THIS POST. This video contains false information. You should NEVER fill your tires to the max inflation pressure specified on the tire. When a tire is driven on, the air pressure inside increases and having a pressure more than the max pressure specified for the tire can cause TIRE FAILURE. The correct air pressure for most vehicles can be found on a sticker located on the driver's side door sill. For most vehicles this pressure will be about 32-34 psi. To the video creator, please get your facts straight before you go spreading MISINFORMATION, which in this case also happens to be DANGEROUS.

[@KILLTHESHROOM]

JinSaysHello You still don't fill them to max, idiot.

[@BurgerBin]

justcuzimbored you're wrong on this my tires are suppose to be 50 in front and 40 in the back due to being staggered so you're information is wrong

Thanks Rick I needed help with the volume of air required

[@zayyaf09]

44 psi is max pressure not operating pressure. 32-34 psi is operating pressure, will be written in your owners manual or on the sticker on the side of your door.

[@JinSaysHello]

what if the tires are not OEM?. The owner manual or sticker does not say anything about non-OEM tires. What if he happen to get a much thinner tire with bigger wheels? or vice versa.

[@appuit]

JinSaysHello Any after market tire of similar size will follow that posted in manufacturer sticker. example:Toyota corolla 2008 stcker says P195/65R15 operating pressure 30 psi for front & rear. Spare T125/70R16 60 psi. So always consult with car manufacturer or tire manufacturer about operating pressure for different size/thin/thick/big tires.

[@tawren]

Is there some trick to getting the nozzle on the tire valve smoothly? When I do it I have the hardest time getting it on right. I feel like an idiot at the gas station. I know to use the door frame sticker.

[@Anna-tc6rz]

You are wrong about putting the maximum air that's marked on the tire, the right amount is the number on the sticker between the door of your driver side of vehicle, just a correction and not a put down!

[@jjbarajas5341]

Ok thanks. I was asked by my parents ti fill the tires while they are away. Never done this. Gonna make my way to the station and hopefully do it right.

[@MrMcbear]

Doing it wrong. The tire pressure you're supposed to use with your particular vehicle is on the door frame when you open it. You never fill it up to the "max psi" displayed on the tire. That will cause over-inflation and bad tire wear. It varies car to car and truck. but generally it's 32psi for majority of passenger cars. 35psi for most minivans and SUVs. Full size trucks. Heavy duties and E series vans usually take 55 front and 60 rear but they use LT tires which have a stiffer sidewall to handle weight.

lol thanks for the video but you should know that the max PSI is what the tyre can handle not what you should fill close to. Always ONLY fill to the recommended PSI. Also only measure the PSI and fill when your car's tyres are coool otherwise your PSI will be falsely high.

[@jg583]

You're a hero

[@Qelyn]

Do not inflate to the maximum psi it will likely be 32-38 psi if your car is heavier it might be 40-42 in door it should have a thing that saysb

[@kevb3047]

That's great but I've NEVER seen one of those gauges work AT ALL, never pops out a millimeter, but every time I've gotten to a gas station I have to get whatever pressure I can, and in NJ these stations are such crap I've never found one with selectable pressure I can go back to, easier when I lived in FL- nice stations with better equipment

[@teammmx]

Don't fill your air to the max. The manufacturer recommended inflation is on the inside on your car door on the left side where you sit. It's risky to drive with too much air in your tires.
