Don’t you love driving on newly inflated tires? Doesn’t it feel like your car just works better? It’s not in your head. Properly inflated tires provide better shock absorption, traction, braking, and steering response. It’s a difference you can feel.
But maintaining proper tire pressure gives you much more than the feeling of a comfortable, responsive car. It may just be your easiest way to maximize the safety and performance of your vehicle while minimizing its cost of ownership. Here’s how:
- Safety: An under-inflated tire faces an increased blowout risk. Under low pressure, more of your tire comes into contact with the road, generating extra friction and heat. And the flatter shape of an under-inflated tire places extra strain on its rubber and metal components. A properly inflated tire is free of these particular stresses.
- Tire Longevity: Too much or too little tire pressure shortens tire life by causing uneven tread wear (not to mention wear on parts of the tire not designed for road contact). Proper tire pressure helps you avoid premature tire replacement.
- Fuel Efficiency: Proper tire pressure can boost fuel efficiency by as much as 3%. On average, drivers can save 2 cents a gallon, which adds up to $240 over 12,000 miles.1
That’s why every Midas Closer Look Vehicle Check™ 2 includes a tire pressure check.
