Tire Wear afftects vehicle performance in ways you probable havent realized. |
|
Lower gas mileage - Lower tire pressure means lower gas mileage. For each pound of under inflation, your gas mileage can drop up to one percent! |
|
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. |
 |
Poor 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. |

"The best way to determine tire specifics is refer to your owner’s manual because every vehicle is different. Each vehicle is designed by the manufacturer with a specific tire and tire pressure in mind." |

Tire Facts
- The proper tire pressure is available to you in a number of locations in the owner’s manual or on the door jam or doorpost. Many vehicles now also have a sticker on the interior of the gas cap.
- The pressure listed on the exterior of the tire is the maximum pressure that the tire should be inflated to, not necessarily the ideal pressure.
- Always take the tire’s pressure when the tires are cold driven less than one mile.
- Tires will lose about one pound per square inch (PSI) for every 10-degree drop in the temperature.
- Tires will also lose pressure over time about one PSI per month.
- To improve the life of your tires, rotate them on a regular basis – every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. Every other oil change is a good rule of thumb.

- Check the antifreeze/coolant level weekly. Some cars have transparent reservoirs with level markings. Fill to level marking with 50/50 solution of antifreeze and water. Caution: Do not remove the pressure cap when engine is hot.
- Check oil every other fill up. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean. Insert it fully and remove it again. If it is low, add oil. To maintain peak performance, change oil every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first. Replace oil filter with every oil change.
