First you determine the correct pressure for the tire. (usually around 35psi)

Most gas station air hoses have gauges built onto them. If not, you will need a pressure gauge.

Remove the valve stem cap from the valve stem, sticking out of the rim.

Check the pressure with a gauge. if it is low, push the end of the air hose into the valve stem of the tire. (This may require inserting quarters into the air machine)

Air will move from the compressor into your tire. Check the pressure frequently to be sure you do not over inflate the tire.

How do you properly inflate road bike tires to ensure optimal performance and safety?

To properly inflate road bike tires for optimal performance and safety, first check the recommended tire pressure range printed on the sidewall of the tire. Use a quality bike pump with a pressure gauge to inflate the tires within this range. Make sure the valve is securely attached and inflate the tire gradually, checking the pressure frequently to avoid overinflating. Properly inflated tires will provide better traction, handling, and reduce the risk of flats.
