1. Underinflation may lead to tire failure.
Correct Answer: A - True. Underinflation results in increased heat
buildup in the tire, which can cause internal damage and lead to tire
failure.

2. You should always check the air pressure of a vehicle's tire when the tires are…
Correct Answer: B - Cold. Driving even a short distance causes tires
to become warm, which increases the air pressure and can give you an
inaccurate air pressure reading.
|
3. Experts recommend checking your tires' air pressure…
Correct Answer: C - Once a month. A tire, that is not driven, can
lose 1-2 psi of air per month. In addition, your tire can lose up to
half of its air pressure and not appear to be flat. Check your tires
monthly with a tire gauge to ensure your safety.

4. You can tell if a tire is properly inflated within a few pounds of its recommended pressure…
Correct Answer: C - With a pressure gauge. When you check the air
pressure, make sure the tires are cool - meaning they are not hot from
driving even a mile. Remove the cap from the tire valve, firmly press a
tire gauge onto the valve and note the reading. Add air, if needed. If
you overfill the tire, you can release air by pushing on the metal stem
in the center of the valve with a fingernail or the tip of a pen. Then
recheck the pressure with your tire gauge. Replace the valve and check
the remaining tires, including the spare.
