Since driving even a short distance will rapidly heat up the tires –  and increase the pressure inside of them – accurate readings can only be taken before you drive.

And since we all know how important tires are to our safety on the road, most of us are pretty meticulous about monitoring them.

But even if you’re diligent about checking your tires before every trip, it’s easy to accidentally run them under-pressure without ever realizing it.

Watch this short video to avoid making this mistake on your RV!
