Common sense will tell you to keep your tires inflated with a sufficient amount of air. However, depending on driving conditions, sometimes it makes sense to run a lower tire pressure. While a lower tire pressure will result in lower fuel economy, there are some advantages of using Tire Repair Tools, particularly off-road:

Increased tire contact patch over loose or slippery surfaces
More comfortable ride quality over rough surfaces
Increased puncture resistance over rough terrain and sharp obstacles
For most drivers, keeping your tire pressure at the manufacturer’s recommended setting is perfectly acceptable (and often preferred), especially for normal daily driving. However, if you end up overfilling your tires, you can follow the steps below to help get back to the recommended setting.

Things You’ll Need:

Small screwdriver or pointed object
Tire pressure gauge

Locate the valve stem: With your vehicle safely parked, look at the outer edge of the wheel and locate the valve stem. It is usually rubber and looks like the valve stems you’d find on a bicycle tire.
Remove the valve stem cap: Twist off the valve stem cap and set it aside in a safe place.
Release air from the tire: Using a small screwdriver or similarly shaped object (such as the backside of a pencil-style tire pressure gauge), depress the pin within the valve stem to begin releasing air. Throughout the process, occasionally check the tire pressure with a gauge to monitor the pressure and rate of air being released from the tire (every few seconds to start). Continue this process until you’ve reached the desired tire pressure.
Reinstall the valve stem cap: With your valve stem cap on hand, proceed to twist it back onto the tire’s valve stem.
Hit the road: That’s it! You’ve let some air out of your tires, and you’re ready to hit the road again. In case you need to check your tire pressure down the line, you can keep your pressure gauge stashed in your glovebox.
