Using the air at QT
Look for the air and water station at the end of the fuel canopy. Many QT machines shut off automatically: set the pressure, press the chuck onto the valve and wait for the beep. Do all four tires and, while you are at it, the spare. It is the one everybody forgets until they need it.
QT keeps its lots busy, so the air spot can have a short line at rush hour. Late evening is usually the quickest time.
How to use the air at QuikTrip
- 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 QuikTrip locations on our map are in Texas, where the average temperature drops from about 84 °F in July to 47 °F in January (NOAA). Tire pressure falls roughly 1 PSI for every 10 °F, so tires set correctly in summer are about 4 PSI low by midwinter. Check them monthly, and always when the low-pressure light comes on.
