The Rubber Manufacturers Firm recommends enchanting 5 minutes every month to probation the air energy in your Chevy Corvette tires. Increased performance and gas mileage can result from taking the time to ensure proper pressure.
Instructions
1.6. Remove the gauge and check the reading.7. Inflate the tires on your Corvette only to the recommended range of pressure, depending on how much weight your Corvette will be carrying.
2. Check the placard on the inside driver's door of your Corvette for the range of tire air pressure. Later model Corvettes have ranges of 28 to 34 psi.
3. Unscrew the valve stem cap from the valve stem on each tire. The valve stem is the long black extension coming from your tire near the hubcap. Place the caps in a secure area until you've finished your check. These caps can disappear very quickly.
4. Locate the small pin in the center of the valve stem. This is where the gauge will be placed.
5. Press the end of the gauge to make sure that the indicator stick is all the way inside before pressing the gauge firmly and quickly against the valve stem. If your angle is off or you need to add more pressure, you will hear a hissing noise letting you know that air is escaping.
Check that your tires are cold, which means the car has not been driven for more than 2 miles recently. Tires expand with heat, so your reading will not be accurate if they are warm. If your Corvette tires are already low on air, check the pressure before driving the car. That way, you know exactly how much to add once you reach the gas station.
