Three primary areas are affected by improper tire inflation pressure: 1. Safety WARNING! Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents.

  • Page 191: Tire Labeling

    2. Economy Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Underinflation also increases tire rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
