Tire pressure: The right amount GOOD – incorrect amount BAD
Tire pressure is important for a variety of reasons, the main being that it keeps your car running efficiently and helps improve fuel economy. When the tire pressure is too low, the tires don’t hold as much air, which can cause them to wear out faster.
Low tire pressure can cause steering problems as well as increase the risk of a tire blowout. It is important to check your tire pressure regularly to make sure that your tires are properly inflated. This should be done at least once a month and more frequently in colder weather. Keeping your tire pressure at the correct level is important for a safe and comfortable ride.
