Over time, tire pressure decreases. Pressure also varies depending on environmental conditions. All of this is normal. However, if you drive with the wrong tire pressure, the tires may overheat and become damaged. Tire pressure affects ride comfort, noise levels and handling characteristics.
Make it a habit to check the tire pressure monthly and before longer trips. Always make sure you use a reliable pressure gauge. To keep the tires in good shape, use the recommended tire pressure for cold tires.
Warning
If the tire pressure is too high or too low, the tires can sustain severe damage. The tires can explode while you are driving, causing you to lose control of the vehicle.
Tip
Maintaining the correct tire pressure will help you take advantage of your vehicle's full load capacity.
