Tire Pressure

:
Tires need the correct amount
of air pressure to operate
effectively.
Do not let anyone tell
Notice:
you that under inflation or
over inflation is all right. It is
not. If your tires do not have
enough air (under inflation),
you can get the following:
Tire overloading and
over-heating which could
lead to a blowout.
Premature or
irregular wear.
Poor handling.
Reduced fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air
(over inflation), you can get
the following:
Unusual wear.
Poor handling.
Rough ride.
Needless damage from
road hazards.
A vehicle-specific Tire and
Loading Information label is
attached to your vehicle. This
label shows your vehicle's
original equipment tires and the
correct inflation pressures for
your tires when they are cold.
The recommended cold tire
inflation pressure, shown on the
label, is the minimum amount of
air pressure needed to support
your vehicle's maximum
load-carrying capacity.
