Correct Tire Inflation is Essential for Safe Driving and Efficient Performance<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are many reasons why you should take good care of your car. Not only is your vehicle a very expensive investment that you want to last for as long as possible, but your safety can also be at risk if your car is not performing at its best. One of the most overlooked factory-scheduled car maintenance requirements for ALL vehicles is tire care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tires should be in good condition at all times. And as soon as they begin to show signs of wear and tear, it is time to have them replaced. In between tire replacement, your tires require regular rotations and balancing, as well as daily air pressure monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you fail to take good care of your tires, they can begin to lose their ability to do their job, which can put your safety at risk. Tire pressure is a common problem that can influence your overall tire performance and safety. Be sure to routinely inspect your tires for proper inflation; you don\u2019t want them to be over or under-inflated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Under-Inflated Tires are Unsafe:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bulges can form in the tire walls, which can weaken areas of the tires, and put them at a higher risk of blowing out on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under-inflated tires will cause reduced fuel efficiency, which affects a driver\u2019s budget and vehicle reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under-inflated tires will impede vehicular mobility, which can be dangerous in defensive driving scenario and inclement weather, and while navigating small spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Over-Inflated Tires are Unsafe:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over-inflated tires can cause an increase air temperature within them, which can lead to sudden tire blowouts while driving. Furthermore, over-inflated tires lead to an imbalance of contact on the road among all four tires, which can hinder vehicular mobility and handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tire that is 25% above the recommended tire pressure is 2 times more likely to be involved in a collision. A tire that is 25% below <\/em>the recommended tire pressure is 3 times more likely to be involved in a collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are virtually 11,000 tire-related motor vehicle accidents every year. Nearly 75% of roadside flat tires are a result of improper tire pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got a Flat Tire?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you get a flat tire as a result of over or under-inflation, you can try to repair it yourself if you have a spare tire or an emergency roadside kit.
