Richmond Weekend Road-Trip Tire Pressure Check Before I-64

Richmond temperature swings can move your tire PSI enough to affect braking distance and steering feel on I-64. Check pressure when tires are cold and match the door-sticker spec, not the number stamped on the tire sidewall. While you are there, inspect tread depth across the inner and outer edges to catch alignment-related wear early. If one tire keeps dropping pressure, have it inspected for a slow puncture before you leave town.
