Your vehicle's tires are your main and only contact point with the driving surface and should be monitored regularly to make sure they are inflated to the appropriate pressure levels dictated by the owner's manual of your vehicle.
Under inflated tires can be a major safety issue. The lack of proper air causes uneven wear which leads to increased breaking distances, a higher risk of tire blowout and less overall control over the vehicle.
Not properly inflating your tires can also lead to losing money. A tire that is 10% under inflated can lose up to 16% of its tread life. The average time you would waste fixing a flat is three to four hours, and time is money. Also, tires under inflated by 30% lost up to 10% of their fuel efficiency.
Next time you fill-up on gas, check out your owner's manual and find out the desired psi for your front and rear tires. Spend the few quarters and ensure the safety of your vehicle and passengers by properly inflating your tires. Better yet, come in to
