Why checking tires helps you be safe in bumps and bumps


Low air pressure inside a tire can cost you a lot by increasing fuel consumption, and it also causes you to buy new tires more often than necessary, use these tips to avoid increasing the cost.
It is good to be careful to reduce fuel consumption, one of the most important ways to reduce fuel consumption and increase tire life is to always keep your eyes on the pressure of your car tires and monitor it.
How does tire air pressure affect fuel economy?
High-pressure tires are tight, and the part that connects to the road is relatively small compared to tires with low pressure, which means that low pressure increases the area of ​​​​the tire contact with the road, which increases friction, which causes high heat in the tires, which may lead to accidents in the worst cases. In the best cases, significant wear of the tire occurs, in addition to the possibility of destroying the side walls of the tire.
How do I know if my tire pressure is low?
People who use cars manufactured after 2007 can easily tell when the air in their tires is low, the “Check Tire Pressure” indicator will appear. If you have an older car, check the tire pressure if:

  • Your tires always squeak when changing corners
  • premature wear of the tread

 What should be the tire pressure?
Typically, you will find the optimum tire pressure number printed on a sticker attached to the inside edge of the driver’s side door, the number will be followed by the letters psi approximately 35 psi is the recommended tire pressure for most cars today.
 
Too much air inside the tire is also bad,
do not do the opposite and go to the other jack which is too full of the tire, because that will cause a number of problems, including. You will feel the bumps on the road more because the tire absorption is less, and in the case of rain and ice you will find a decrease in the traction force, so do not reach the tire pressure to the maximum value recorded on the adhesive tape because it is not the optimum value for pressure but rather the maximum recommended by the manufacturer .
How do I fill tires?
To fill your tires drive to any gas station and find the air pump, and park your vehicle as close to the pump as possible Loosen the cap on the tire valve and place the air nozzle keeping the air flowing until the tire is properly inflated. Fees should be minimal, if any.
Pressure changes with the seasons
Finally, remember that tire pressure changes with the weather. Hot weather requires higher tire pressure, while winters need less pressure. Be more vigilant in cold weather.
