How to Check Your Tire Pressure (and Why It Matters More Than You Think)

Most drivers don’t think about tire pressure—until it’s too late. But staying on top of it is crucial for safety, performance, and saving money. With TireBuddy from MotoNova, it’s never been easier.

Signs Your Tire Pressure May Be Low:

  • TPMS light on your dashboard

  • Wobbly or unsteady steering

  • Tires appear visibly deflated

  • Sluggish acceleration or handling

Why Proper Tire Pressure Matters:

  • Prevents blowouts on hot roads

  • Enhances fuel efficiency

  • Improves vehicle handling and safety

  • Extends the lifespan of your tires

How to Check It the Traditional Way:

  • Use a manual tire gauge on cold tires

  • Compare the reading to your vehicle’s recommended PSI (found on driver’s door sticker)

  • Inflate or deflate accordingly

How TireBuddy Makes It Effortless:

  • Automatically reads tire pressure on connection

  • Allows preset PSI targets with +/- buttons

  • Shuts off when desired pressure is reached

  • Works with car tires, bikes, scooters, and more


    It’s not just about air—it’s about safety and control. With TireBuddy in your trunk, checking and correcting tire pressure is quick, accurate, and stress-free.
