Underinflated tires pose the same danger
as overloaded tires. The resulting
accident could cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently to maintain the
recommended pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked when your tires are
cold. See
.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured, or broken by a sudden
impact
such as when you hit a
pothole. Keep tires at the recommended
pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents.
If your tread is badly worn, or if your tires
have been damaged, replace them.
See
inflation pressure adjustment for high speed
driving.
If your vehicle has P225/50R18 or
P225/50R17 size tires, they are classified
as low profile performance tires. These tires are
designed for very responsive driving on wet or dry
pavement. You may also notice more road noise
with low profile performance tires and that they
tend to wear faster.
