Frequently asked questions

How to use an air pump to inflate tires?

  1. First, remove the valve cap from the tire you wish to inflate and check the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle, typically found in the owner's manual or on a placard inside the driver's side door.
  2. Next, securely attach the air hose to the valve stem.
  3. If the compressor allows, set the desired tire pressure.
  4. Press the inflation trigger and keep an eye on the pressure gauge.
  5. Add air in short bursts, checking the pressure intermittently to avoid overinflation.
  6. Once you've reached the desired pressure, remove the hose, replace the valve cap.
  7. Usually there are specific instructions provided by the gas station regarding the use of the air pump.

What is recommended air pressure for tires?

The recommended air pressure for car tires varies for each vehicle, with most falling within the range of 28 to 36 PSI (pounds per square inch).

You can use our Tire Pressure Calculator to find recommended pressure for your tires.

The air pressure for your cars' tires is set by the manufacturer. You can find this information in your car's operator manual or on a sticker located on the inside of the driver's door post.

What gas stations have free air?

You can find free air pumps at these gas stations:

  • QuickTrip Store
  • Casey's
  • Sheetz
  • Wawa
  • Kum and Go
  • Mobil
  • Phillips
  • Chevron
  • Conoco
  • Shell
  • Kwik Trip
  • MotoMart

Should I check my tire pressure hot or cold?

Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add or release air until the specified pressure is reached. If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.4 kgf/cm2) higher than if checked when cold.

Are all gas stations required to provide free air pump?

By law, all Connecticut-licensed gasoline retailers are required to offer the public a free air compressor for tire inflation during their operating hours.

In California, complimentary air is legally provided, but only for customers making a purchase.

For others, refer to the map to find nearby locations offering free tire inflation. Save on costs, conserve gas, and ensure your tires are properly filled, all without spending a dime!

How often should I check and inflate my tires?

It is recommended to check and inflate your tires at least once a month. Regular tire maintenance helps ensure optimal performance, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced safety on the road. More air is usually lost during warm weather, so more regular checks are needed when temperatures rise. Additionally, it's advisable to check tire pressure before long trips and during significant temperature changes, as these factors can impact tire pressure. Maintaining proper inflation levels contributes to prolonged tire life and a smoother driving experience.

Is Air for Tires Free in Massachusetts?

We have identified 82 locations in Massachusetts that provide free air pumps for your tires. Among them, 18 location exclusively provides free air for bikes, while 64 spots offer complimentary air for cars.

Can I drive with low tire pressure?

It’s not advisable to drive if the pressure in your tires drops to 20 PSI (140 kPa) or below. When tire pressure is this low, you may find it harder to steer your vehicle and the tires themselves are at risk of damage.
If your TPMS light is ON, use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

How do you tell if a tire is flat or just needs air?

If it is not obvious that you have a flat tire, as it would be if you had a visible puncture, you can test for a slow air leak by first inflating the tire to the recommended pressure and then going for a short ride.
After which, you would measure the pressure with a gauge. If the tire pressure noticeably dropped, you most likely have a tire that needs to be repaired or replaced.

Can I trust air pressure accuracy at these locations?

Yes, in general, air pressure accuracy at these locations is reliable. However, it's always a good practice to occasionally cross-check the tire pressure with your own gauge to ensure precision.

Can I leave my car running while putting air in tires?

While it's not recommended to leave a car running when putting air in tires, it should be OK to do so assumimg you keep your car's handbrake engaged and the car is in park.
