Tires and Wheels
WARNING
Do not let air out of warm tires to adjust pressure. Doing so will result in low tire pressure.
Incorrect tire pressures detract from controllability and ride comfort, and they cause the tires to wear abnormally.
. Correctly inflated tires( tread worn evenly)
Roadholding is good, and steering is responsive. Rolling resistance is low, so fuel consumption is also lower.
. Under inflated tires( tread worn at shoulders)
Rolling resistance is high, so fuel consumption is also higher.
. Over inflated tires( tread worn in center)
Ride comfort is poor. Also, the tire magnifies the effects of road surface bumps and dips, possibly resulting in vehicle damage.
WARNING
Driving at high speeds with excessively low tire pressures can cause the tires to deform severely and to rapidly become hot. A sharp increase in temperature could cause tread separation, and destruction of the tires. The resulting loss of
