After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al-

will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the
valvestem,whichcoulddamageit.
Example: If garage temperature = 68°F (20°C) and the
outside temperature = 32°F (0°C) then the cold tire
inflationpressureshouldbeincreasedby3psi(21kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this
