You probably already know that tire pressure is important when it comes to safe driving, but it can also cost you money if you don’t keep an eye on it. This video lays out the tire pressure essentials you need to know.
If you want to keep your car’s fuel economy at its peak, Fenske explains that it’s best to avoid driving on under-inflated tires. Less tire pressure means more rolling resistance, and that means more energy is required to keep your cruising. Lastly, improper tire pressure can cause tires to wear faster than normal and greatly reduce their life. An over-inflated tire will have more wear in the center of the tire, and an under-inflated tire will have more wear on the outsides of the tire. The bottom line is you should always be checking your tire pressure and adjusting it to the manufacturer’s recommended levels—not just for your safety, but also to save you money in the long run.
