I’m going to start this by saying that despite my overwhelming lack of knowledge in other areas, I do know how to change a tire on a vehicle. And I’ve even done it.

Moving along; the first step once you realize that your tire is flat, is to curse a little bit. No, don’t do that. Check to see that it doesn’t just need air.

If you’re not sure what it’s supposed to be, look in your handy manual. Usually though, it should be between 30 and 35 PSI (pounds per square inch). And trust me on this, more is not better. Kaboom!
