How do I maintain the tire pressure in my Kia Sportage?

I recently purchased a Kia Sportage and I am unsure about how to maintain the proper tire pressure. What should I do to ensure my tires are at the correct pressure for optimal performance and safety?

The first step is to check the recommended tire pressure in your owner's manual or on the driver's side door jamb. Use a tire pressure gauge to check your tires and add or release air as needed to maintain the recommended pressure.

It's important to check your tire pressure regularly, at least once a month. This ensures that your tires are properly inflated and can help improve fuel efficiency and prolong the life of your tires.

If you notice your tire pressure is consistently low, it could be a sign of a leak. In this case, it's important to get your tire checked and repaired by a professional as soon as possible.

Don't forget to check your spare tire as well. It's just as important to maintain the proper pressure in your spare tire in case of emergencies.

Investing in a portable air compressor can also be helpful in maintaining tire pressure on the go. This way, you can easily add air to your tires whenever needed.
