Global Warming Challenge #3
Tire Pressure

Action:
Check the tire pressure on all your cars. Fill to recommended pressure if it is low (if there is a recommended range, fill to the higher value)
Alternative Action:
If you already use compact fluorescents as much as possible, give least 5 compact fluorescent bulbs to a friend or relative.
Follow-up Action:
If your tire pressure was good (did not need to fill), check and fill tires every 3 months.
If your tire pressure was low, check and fill in 1 month.
If pressure is then good, you can check every three months after that.
But if pressure is low again, you may have a leak. Check and fill every month.
Helpful Chart
We will be giving out little charts that you can mount in your car to help track when you last checked your tire pressure and when to check again.
Ways to Check Tire Pressure
Go to a full service gas station and have attendant check tire pressure.
Use a tire pressure gauge. Manual ones can be hard to read.
Digital ones are easier to read but you still need to remove and replace all your valve caps. Available at some auto parts stores.
A large variety available online at http://amazon.com starting at about $7
Finger Gauge Buy mini tire pressure gauges that fit on valve stem (they replace the little caps).
Gauge mounts on tire valve stem
Just press to see if tire pressure is okay (does not constantly monitor pressure)
Available online for about $9 for a set of 4 at http://www.wagonpeddler.com/ if you don’t see the gauge there, search for “quick-chek”
Large Gauge Gauge mounts on tire valve stem
Just look at color to see if tire pressure is okay.
(constantly monitors pressure…may result in a very small pressure loss)
Available online for about $9 for a set of 4
