Why Tire Pressure is important?

1. Safety: Tires with Improper pressure can cause handling and traction problems, which are dangerous especially during winters. In addition, overinflated or underinflated tires are vulnerable to unpredicted flats, which can cause you to lose control of your car or leave stranded on the side of the road.

2. Saves Money:  An underinflated or overinflated tire can accelerate the tread wear of your tires. With an overinflated tire, less the tread is touching the road wearing parts of your tire tread more quickly.  An underinflated tire does the opposite: more of the tire is wearing down faster.

 3. Smooth ride: Tires with too much pressure guarantee a bumpy ride. Underinflated tires give you a much more comfortable ride but can cause handling problems.
