<br>
Likewise, you can use a tire depth gauge. This will take more time but over time it can indicate problems other than tire pressure. Measure the depth at the inner edge of the tire, the center of the tire, and the outer edge of the tire. If checked every six or so months, even wear over the width of the tread would indicate a pressure that is providing full tread contact (9-9-9). If wear is greater at the edges, tire pressure is too low (7-9-7). If wear is greater in the center, pressure it too high (9-7-9). If one edge is wearing more than the other, wheel alignment could be a problem (7-9-9 or 9-9-7).<br>
<br>
If you need an excuse to go out and drive the car hard periodically, the chalk method will be your first and best choice. The depth gauge method will make you check your tire pressure and wear close-up more often so I recommend you do that, also.<br>
<br>
While you are down there, check the date on the tires and the condition of the sidewalls. If you are getting depth readings at or below the threes or they are over 7 - 10 years old, you are overdue for new ones.<br>

The correct tire pressure will vary widely from car to car, depending on tire type and static weight distribution.<br>
<br>
The correct method for determining proper tire pressure is as follows:<br>
<br>
1. Use a soft white chalk to mark several vertical stripes across the tread and sidewall of each tire;<br>
2. Drive the car hard, including tight turns;<br>
3. Check the chalk marks. The marks should end at the knuckle where the tread and sidewall meet. Some tires have small triangles or arrows to mark the knuckle.<br>
4. If the chalk remains on the tread, the pressure is too high. You are not using all of the tire.<br>
Chalk ends below knuckle, tire pressure is too low. The tire is rolling over too much.<br>
<br>
