Start with the placard

Set each tire to the vehicle’s specified cold pressure. Inspect for a leak or damage if pressure falls again.

Check sensor and reset steps

A wheel change can affect direct TPMS sensors; indirect systems can require recalibration. Follow the exact owner’s manual procedure or ask the installer.

Put the answer to work

Start with the actual vehicle label or installed component. Then use our vehicle directory and comparison tools to narrow the research. Any missing condition should be checked with the manufacturer or a qualified installer.

Compare pressure gauges on Amazon

Check the gauge range and accuracy. Use the vehicle placard, not the tire-sidewall maximum, for the target PSI.
