How do I properly check the tire pressure on a Kia Sorento?

I am planning on taking a long road trip with my Kia Sorento and want to make sure my tires are properly inflated. How can I check the tire pressure and what should it be at for optimal performance?

To check your tire pressure, start by finding the recommended pressure for your specific Kia Sorento model. This can usually be found on a sticker inside the driver's side door or in the owner's manual. Next, use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure in each tire. If the pressure is too low, use an air pump to add air until it reaches the recommended amount. It's important to check your tire pressure regularly, especially before a long trip, to ensure the best performance and fuel efficiency.

I recommend checking your tire pressure once a month to ensure your Kia Sorento is always running at peak performance. It's also a good idea to check the pressure before and after long trips. Keeping your tires properly inflated can also improve the lifespan of your tires and prevent blowouts while on the road.

Don't forget to also check the pressure in your spare tire. Many people forget about this and it could come in handy in an emergency. And always remember, when adding air to your tires, never overinflate as this can cause uneven wear and reduce handling and traction.
