What Audi Atlanta Wants You to Know About Tire Pressure

Do you check your tire pressure at least once a month or so? There are many reasons why monitoring tire inflation is important for Atlanta, GA drivers. Above all is probably safety. Improperly inflated tires could increase your chances of having an accident. Here's why.

Both too much and too little pressure can cause serious hazards. If there's not enough air in your tires, you may notice your vehicle pulling to either side. This makes steering difficult. Too little air also causes tires to produce too much heat due to friction. This heat could easily cause a tire blowout or puncture.

Over-inflated tires are also an issue. They don't allow enough of the tire to come into contact with the road's surface, making your ride unstable. Without proper traction in your tires, you're more prone to slipping or sliding on various road surfaces.
