From Kum & Go to Maverik
Kum & Go started in Iowa and grew across the Midwest and into Colorado. Since the sale, stores are being renamed one by one. The building and the air machine usually stay where they were, so if your Kum & Go now says Maverik, the air is still there.
How to use the air at Kum & Go
- Find your target pressure on the sticker inside the driver's door, not the maximum on the tire.
- Park so the hose reaches all four tires and unscrew the valve caps.
- On a digital machine, set the PSI first; on a plain hose, check the gauge often.
- Fill in short bursts until the reading matches, then put the caps back on.
Cold weather and your tires
Most Kum & Go locations on our map are in Iowa, where the average temperature drops from about 74 °F in July to 21 °F in January (NOAA). Tire pressure falls roughly 1 PSI for every 10 °F, so tires set correctly in summer are about 5 PSI low by midwinter. Check them monthly, and always when the low-pressure light comes on.
