Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather the necessary tools: tire pressure gauge, air compressor, valve core tool, and potential tire sealant.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the tires are cold for accurate pressure readings.
2. Inflate Tires
  • Use the tire pressure gauge to measure the current tire pressure.
  • Inflate each tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure (check the owner's manual or the label on the driver’s door jamb).
    • Tools required: Air compressor, tire pressure gauge.
    • Safety warning: Ensure the air compressor is unplugged when not in use to avoid accidents.
3. Inspect for Damage
  • Remove the valve caps and visually inspect for any damage.
  • If a tire appears damaged, consider removing it using a jack and a lug wrench to access the tire for repair or replacement.
  • Tools required: Jack, lug wrench.
  • Safety warning: Ensure the vehicle is securely supported on jack stands before working under it.
4. Address Leaks (if applicable)
  • If leaks are found, consider using a tire sealant for small punctures as a temporary fix.
  • For larger leaks or damage, schedule a visit to a tire repair shop for professional assessment and repair.
  • Tools required: Tire sealant (if applicable).
