What is the Right Tire Pressure for My Hyundai?

Proper tire pressure helps keep your Hyundai vehicle operating safely on the roads of Northern Alabama. You might not think one tire’s pressure could make it dangerous to drive around Huntsville, but it can! Your Hyundai is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that keeps tabs on your tire pressure. If it senses you’re over- or under-inflated, that light will light up on your dash. But if you need to refill your tires — or bleed some air off — what tire pressure should you be aiming for? We’ve got that answer, and some information on how the Hyundai TPMS feature works.

Hyundai Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Your vehicle is smartly equipped with Hyundai TPMS, which monitors the tire pressure of each individual tire. As soon as you hit the roads of Moulton, your Hyundai will start evaluating tire pressure for each wheel. In just a few short minutes, those figures will display on your dashboard. If the tire pressure in any wheel is too low, the system will send you an alert. If a tire flashes red, assistance is needed.

What if you have just inflated your tires to the correct pressure level, but the Hyundai TPMS system is still indicating that there is an issue? If this is the case, it’s possible a service professional may need to perform a Hyundai TPMS reset. Bring your vehicle to the experts at Greenway Hyundai Decatur today — this should be your first stop if your TPMS light stays on as you drive around Northern Alabama.

Helpful Tire Pressure Hints

If you continue to drive with low pressure, your tires will wear down more rapidly because of an increase of friction between the road and the tire. Low tire pressure can also compromise vehicle safety. Keep these tire pressure tips in mind:

The TPMS light on your Hyundai instrument cluster can alert you if your tire pressure is off, but if you check manually, you should be able to stay ahead of any warning lights coming on.
Tires can naturally lose 1-2 psi per month due to your driving habits.
Pressure can fluctuate as the outdoor temperature changes, especially in extreme cold.
If your TPMS is frequently alerting you to low tire pressure, it’s possible there is a hole or nail somewhere in the tread. Have your tire looked at by a professional.
