Underinflated tires
pose
the same danger as
overhaded 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.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured or broken by
a
sudden
impact
- I
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, N o r if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.
Inflation
--
Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label, which is on the
rear edge of the driver's door, shows the correct
inflation pressures for your tires when they're cold.
"Cold" means your vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6
km).
NOTICE:
Don't let anyone tell you that underinflation or
overinflation is all right. It's not. If your tires
don't have enough air (underinflation),
you
can
get
the
following:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If
your tires
have
too much air (overinflation),
you can get the following:
Unusual wear
0
Bad handling
0
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.
