Show Air pressure important "Inflation may be bad news when it comes to the economy, but there's one area where it can have positive results," says Cedar City tire dealer Karl Rradshaw. "Proper inflation is one of the most important aspects of tire care," said Brad-sahw. Brad-sahw. Making sure that your tires have the right air pressure not only contributes con-tributes to the safe operation of your car, but also can save you money, both in the area of tire wear and fuel consumption, Bradshaw pointed out. Insufficient air pressure can cause rapid and abnormal ab-normal tire wear, thus reducing tire mileage. It also causes the tire to run hotter than it should, which might lead to a premature failure. It increases the rolling resistance of the tire, which in turn causes the car's engine to work harder to move the vehicle. That ultimately means more fuel consumption. |
