I think its a mistake to check the vehicle for proper tire pressure. OEM tires may call for, for example, 32psi - and that is what is printed on the car. But what if the owner (or a prior owner) changed tires to a high efficiency tire. Those tires typically require much higher pressures (in the neighborhood of 35-36 psi). Using the car's recommended pressure will negate the benefits of the high efficiency tires. So for proper pressure, check the tire and/or the recommended tire pressure from the tire manufacturer for the specific tire on the car.

This is a great video for nOObs and women.
I would had been cool to hire that voice they use for sneak previews. I bet that guy smokes 10 packs a day.

Mistake #1 is wrong.
Told you that in your other thread too.
Rest of it is good info though.
