Lower
gas mileage - lower tire pressure means lower
gas mileage. For each pound of under inflation, your
gas mileage can drop up to 1%!
Tire Failure - under inflation is the leading cause of
tire failure.
Faster Tread wear - lower tire pressure also causes
the tread to wear out faster and forces premature
replacement.
Poorer handling - the point where the tire meets the
road is a crucial element in determining the ride
control of your vehicle. Under inflation prevents your
ride control system from functioning properly. |
