Most gas stations have air pumps outside. Just check that you have change or a card for payment!

I always try to do my tire adjustments during the warmest part of the day to avoid freezing my fingers off. It’s definitely a challenge!

That’s smart! A little planning can save you a lot of discomfort in the cold.

Just be cautious about over-inflating! Cold weather can trick you into thinking you need more air than you do. Always consult your vehicle’s manual for exact specs.

Exactly! I once forgot and went for a drive. My poor tires were so hard, and I could almost hear them groaning!
