Proper tire inflation is more important than many drivers realize. It affects how your tires wear and perform. More importantly, it could even impact the safety of you and your passengers. The inflation in your tires varies with the temperature and due to wear, so you should check it at least once a month. Kapaa, HI drivers should know the following about why tire pressure matters.
If your tires are under-inflated, your car might pull to the left or right. In addition, more of the tire comes in contact with the road due to having too little air. This causes friction and could lead the tire to rupture. If your tire is over-inflated, less of the surface touches the road. This means less traction, making slipping and sliding more likely, and they'll be more sensitive to impacts.
You can prevent an accident by maintaining proper inflation in your tires. Your car will also ride better and offer more efficient fuel economy when you keep the tires filled to the recommended levels at our service center at King Honda.
