So, the weather has been cooling off and I knew I needed to check the air pressure in my tires to compensate for this fact. Well, the air in my Mazda Protege was low by about 10 pounds first thing in the morning. Not too bad, you think. Well, I thought I would go the extra mile and top off my spare tire in the back. I couldn’t remember the last time I did that, but it couldn’t be too bad, could it? Well, it was SHOCKING!
I had ZERO PSI out of 60 PSI in that tire. NOTHING. I was ashamed I had let it get in such bad condition.
Naturally, I checked the tires on the minivan as well. No air needed in the tires in use, but the spare was 25PSI instead of the 60 PSI needed. Not a good thing again.
Moral of the story -Go make sure your spare is properly inflated. Be Prepared.
(FYI, this is not my car. My trunk looks much more messy, with wood chips and leaves and chemlites.)
