You probably don't think about your tires very often. That's not unusual. Our customers usually come to see us here at Alan Jay Cadillac when something goes wrong or it's time for a tire replacement. You can prevent issues related to excess wear, poor performance, and safety hazards simply by checking your tire pressure on occasion. Here's what you need to know.
Both underinflated and overinflated tires can be problematic. Having too little air may be more of a safety concern because this makes it harder to control your steering and stop with precision. Low tire pressure also negatively impacts your fuel economy significantly.
If you want your tires to last as long as possible, it's important to strive for even wear. Your tires will receive extra wear on the sides if the pressure is low. Too much pressure leads to excessive wear on the center treads.
