Best Answer

First you determine the correct pressure for the tire. (usually around 35psi)

Most gas station air hoses have gauges built onto them. If not, you will need a pressure gauge.

Remove the valve stem cap from the valve stem, sticking out of the rim.

Check the pressure with a gauge. if it is low, push the end of the air hose into the valve stem of the tire. (This may require inserting quarters into the air machine)

Air will move from the compressor into your tire. Check the pressure frequently to be sure you do not over inflate the tire.

Do cold tires inflate when they become warm?

Yes, cold tires will inflate when they are warmed up because the air inside the tire is expanding as it becomes warmer. That's why it is never recommended to pump up a tire past the maximum psi posted on it.
