Low tire pressure can affect your vehicle without warning. A simple dashboard alert or subtle steering change may signal that your tires are underinflated. Ignoring the issue can reduce traction, decrease fuel efficiency, and increase the risk of blowouts.
Points to consider
- Follow Manufacturer Recommended PSI: Always refer to the pressure listed on the driver door placard. Proper inflation improves handling, braking performance, and fuel efficiency.
- Avoid Driving On Severely Underinflated Tires: Continuing to drive on low pressure increases heat buildup and blowout risk.
- Monitor Pressure During Temperature Changes: Cold weather lowers PSI while heat increases it.
- Do Not Overinflate Tires: Excess pressure reduces traction and causes uneven wear.
Use the vehicle and tire manufacturer’s guidance for pressure, spare-tire limits and maintenance. A damaged tire or repeated loss of pressure needs inspection; adding air is not a repair for every tire problem.
