How does tire pressure affect driving safety?
Properly inflated tires improve vehicle handling, steering and braking ability. These inflated tires grip the road better in all conditions (including rain and snow) and shorten stopping distances. An under inflated tire results in a higher rolling temperature, potentially leading to tread separation or a blowout. Correctly inflated tires decrease the likelihood of skidding and loss of control crashes, hydroplaning and flat tire or blowout crashes.
