On the side of your tire you'll find limits for the tire pressure settings, also in your owner's manual will tell you the "optimum" setting, or just call your locar dealership or tire store. Then, buy a tire pressure gauge at any parts store and check them, when they are cool to get the proper readings, not when they are hot, because hot air expands, thus, not getting an accurate reading.

Use a good tire pressure gauge (not the ones the gas stations provide). Check it when the tires are cold.
Remove the cap from the pressure valve and press the gauge on it. It will show you the pressure. Don't forget to replace the cap.

The tire pressures specified for your vehicle are cold tire pressures. In other words, you should wait until the car's been parked over night and measure the tire pressures before you drive the car. Don't forget to check the spare tire and those smaller emergency spare tires usually require 60 psi, whereas normal sized tires on your wheels require 30 to 35 psi or so.

A tire gauge is the best option. They are different pressures depending on what type of car you drive (SUV, truck etc.) and also tire pressure varies if you're going to drive in the city streets or if you're taking a highway trip. Check your car's users manual for tire pressure information.

Dont you have any men in your life??? lol No point in getting your hands dirty if someone else will for you.... hahahahahaha But really you should get a tire guage and keep it in your glove box... you take the cap off the valve on the tire and place the end of the guage on it and read the reading..... But youll also need to know what the right amount of air your tire should have to begin with.......
