WARNING!

Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can
cause collisions.

Underinflation increases tire flexing and can result
in overheating and tire failure.

Overinflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion
shock. Objects on the road and chuckholes can cause
damage that result in tire failure.

Overinflated or underinflated tires can affect vehicle
handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.

Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems.
You could lose control of your vehicle.

Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle
to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right
or left.

Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom-
mended cold tire inflation pressure.

Both under-inflation and over-inflation affect the stability

of the vehicle and can produce a feeling of sluggish

response or over responsiveness in the steering.

NOTE:

Unequal tire pressures from side to side may cause

erratic and unpredictable steering response.

Unequal tire pressure from side to side may cause the

vehicle to drift left or right.

Fuel Economy

Underinflated tires will increase tire rolling resistance

resulting in higher fuel consumption.

Tread Wear

Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause abnormal

wear patterns and reduced tread life, resulting in the need

for earlier tire replacement.

Ride Comfort And Vehicle Stability

Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfortable ride.

Over-inflation produces a jarring and uncomfortable ride.
