It is common knowledge that driving with an under inflated or over inflated tyres is generally discouraged as it can lead to excess wear and tear of tyres. This is not just economically unviable, but also dangerous. Uneven wear of tyres can result in ineffective traction, thus increasing chances of accidents especially on wet roads. Apart from ineffective wear of tyres, improper tyre pressure can also reduce your car’s mileage!
The importance of proper tyre inflation
Cars are meant to be driven in a certain way, which can be achieved only when the tyre pressure is just right. Over inflating or under inflating tyres can hamper with the ride quality for this very reason. Improper inflation will affect the way your wheels move on a surface, especially if the roads are bad.
Since your car will need to expend extra power to just move the car at appropriate speeds, your engine will be working extra hard. Straining your engine for prolonged periods will lead to excessive heating of the engine and it will also lead to consumption of excess fuel. This will automatically reduce you vehicle’s mileage.
How to properly inflate tyres
It is customary for car owners to inflate their tyres at a service station or a fuel station. It is recommended that you have your tyre pressure checked every time you visit the fuel station. This will ensure that your tyres are frequently checked and topped up with the correct pressure.
Thus ensuring that your car tyres are in good shape will save you money in terms of tyre wear, engine wear and mileage. It might not be much when individual factors are summed up, but over time, this will add up.
