Tire Pressure and Mileage

HOW TIRES CAN HAVE AN EFFECT ON FUEL MILEAGE.

1.Always use the car mfg. recommendation on tire inflation.

This air pressure comes from the tire engineers as well

as the car mfg. The air pressure is designed to give

you the best performance and safety. With proper air

inflation you will have less rolling resistance thus better

fuel mileage.

2.Low air pressure builds up heat in the tire and is the

number one cause of tire failure. It also produces more

rolling resistance thus less fuel savings.

3.Too much air pressure causes you to lose road contact

between the tire tread pattern and the road.This can be

dangerous when you need a quick response from your

steering. Too much air pressure causes premature wear

on your tires thus having to replace them before getting

maximun wear.
