FACTOIDS
Did you know air pressure in a tire goes up in warm weather and down in
cold weather one to two pounds for every ten degrees of ambient
temperature change. Consequently, tires can lose a pound of air pressure
every month. Tires that appear properly inflated can have half the
required air pressure in them and under-inflated tires can lower fuel
mileage by 1% for every two pounds below the recommended pressure. When
was the last time you checked your tire pressure? And by the way, buy a
good quality tire pressure gauge as almost 20% of gas station gauges
over-report pressure by 4 PSI or more leading to under-inflation of your
tires. A good set of properly inflated tires should deliver 40,000 to
80,000 miles of trouble-free driving. You won't believe how great your car
drives with a new set of tires between you and the road.
