Is there a way to tell if your tire pressure is low?
Fortunately, there are modern pressure monitoring systems to help the driver informed. The user will instantly know the air pressure condition in the tires. However, the system may fail and send wrong signals to you. Typically, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will illuminate. It happens should the tire pressure drop.
When does the low tire pressure light turn off?
The low tire pressure light, also know as the TPMS system, on your car should turn off when you have filled your tires to the proper pressure, or “PSI.” Sometimes, it just doesn’t work though.
Can you tell me if it is against the law to rotate tires?
I had my car in and the mechanic refused to rotate the tire because the tread was less than 3/32″. He told me it was against the law to put a “non-roadworthy tire” back on a car. I have a hard time believing that statement. Can you tell me if there are any laws relating to this situation?
What to do if your tire pressure is below 25%?
Alternatively, go to the tire shop and determine the air pressure. If your tire pressure is below 25 % of the recommended pressure, the lights will illuminate. Cold weather may compromise the tire pressure. As you take a short drive, the tires may heat up and restore the pressure.

If your tire pressure is below 25 % of the recommended pressure, the lights will illuminate. Cold weather may compromise the tire pressure. As you take a short drive, the tires may heat up and restore the pressure. Suppose you end the above step and nothing happens, proceed to step two.
