Airing up your tire when the indicator light comes on in your vehicle may seem like a tedious concept, but it makes a big difference in your vehicle's overall performance and safety. Tires with low pressure can affect everything from the performance of your vehicle to its fuel efficiency to its safety. In fact, low tire pressure, itself can be the cause of unintended vehicle collisions. Manufacturers create standards for the PSI required in the tires of every vehicle, and when this is not adhered to the outcomes can be discouraging.
Vehicles with the proper amount of air in their tires simply work better. They respond better to braking efforts, can properly disperse weight, and have adequate traction thanks to an uninterrupted tread pattern. Not to mention, adequate air in your vehicle's tires ensures the fuel efficiency each brand touts for each individual vehicle.
Adequate tire pressure also makes driving safer for drivers, passengers, and other vehicles on the road. Tires remain structurally sound, and the likelihood of a tire blowout is reduced. Also, handling improves with appropriate tire pressure, which means your vehicle responds as predicted to quick changes in steering, braking, and cornering.
