How do I let air out of a car tire?

A dashboard sensor on my Jeep is telling me one of my tires is overinflated. How do I let air out my car tire?

Nick Kunze · Updated on Mar 7, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Yes, it’s possible to overinflate your tires. Fortunately, you can easily remedy this issue in a few simple steps:

Locate the valve stem—which protrudes from the tire—on the tire you want to deflate. Remove the stem cap by twisting counterclockwise. You should see a metal pin inside the stem. Using a flat head screwdriver push down on top of this metal pin. The tire will begin to let air out. If you do not have a screwdriver, any other hard tool that can fit inside the stem will work. Continue to press down the metal pin until you’ve released the desired amount of air from your tire.

If problems with your tires are caused by an accident or road damage you’ll want good car insurance.

"I was in a car accident where the other driver ran a stop sign. I did not have a stop sign. He got a ticket, but his insurance is only claiming 70% liability because of the point of impact (my front bumper, his passenger side door). Should I accept the 70% or fight it? "
