Question 1068 in the bank

When we want to verify that the vehicle’s tire air pressure is correct:

  1. We should take the vehicle to a licensed garage, which is the only place allowed to check tire air pressure.
  2. Correct answer: We check the air pressure with a tire pressure gauge.
  3. It is enough to just look at the tires.
  4. We should take the vehicle to a licensed tire repairman, which is the only one allowed to check tire air pressure.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: We check the air pressure with a tire pressure gauge.

Tire pressure is checked with a tire pressure gauge, and any driver may do this alone, without a garage or tire specialist. Simply looking at a tire is not enough, because a tire can look normal even when its pressure is too low or too high. It is best to check when the tires are cold and compare the reading with the manufacturer's recommended values.
