Try using a smartphone app! There are plenty that can remind you when it’s time to check your tire pressure.

My buddy jokingly says the only time I check my tires is when the dashboard light comes on! Honestly though, it’s something I really need to work on.
We all have our moments! Just remember that the cost of new tires can be much higher than the small effort of checking your pressure regularly.
I think it’s funny how some people don’t realize tires are like Goldilocks; they need to be ‘just right’! Too much, too little, and you’re in trouble.
The recommended tire pressure for a Silverado 1500 is typically around 35 PSI, but it’s best to check your owner’s manual for the specific details. Make sure to check it when the tires are cold for the most accurate reading!

Great tip! I also suggest getting a good tire pressure gauge. Digital ones are usually more accurate than manual ones, and they are easy to read.
I use a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) on my Silverado. It alerts me when tire pressure drops, making maintenance so much easier, especially during seasonal changes.
Definitely! Having an alert system can save you from potential tire issues down the road. Plus, it takes the guesswork out of checking pressure regularly.

Keep an eye on your tire pressure, especially in winter; it can drop significantly in the cold. Regular checks can avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
Totally agree! I always keep a portable air pump in my truck just in case I need to top off my tires when I’m on the road.
What brands do you guys recommend for tire pressure gauges? I’m looking to upgrade mine since I can’t trust the old one anymore.
I personally like the Accu-Gage ones. They’re reliable and pretty accurate. Just avoid the very cheap models; they tend to malfunction.
Honestly, I think the manual gauges are still great if you know how to use them properly. What do you all think? Are digital gauges really worth it?

They have their place, but I prefer digital for ease. It’s a personal choice, I guess!
I always check my tire pressure just for fun. I mean, who doesn’t love a little tire talk? Just kidding—it’s super important, though! Keep your tires happy.
