When it comes to your vehicle, a lot rides on your tires—literally. At T&T Mobile Tires, we see it every day: customers dealing with poor fuel economy, premature tire wear, or unexpected handling issues, all because of one small but critical factor—tire pressure.
Let’s break down why proper tire pressure matters and how it directly impacts your safety, your wallet, and your ride.
What Happens When Tire Pressure is Too Low?
Under-inflated tires are more common than you’d think—and they’re costing drivers more than just gas money.
When tires are low on air:
- Your fuel efficiency drops, because your engine has to work harder.
- Tires wear out faster, especially along the edges.
- Handling becomes sluggish, especially when turning or braking.
- You’re at a greater risk of a blowout, especially in hot weather or at highway speeds.
What About Over-Inflated Tires?
Yes, it’s possible to have too much of a good thing.
Over-inflated tires:
- Reduce traction by limiting how much rubber contacts the road.
- Lead to uneven tread wear, especially down the center.
- Make your ride feel rougher, especially on bumpy roads.
- Shorten the life of your tires.
It might seem like a firmer tire is better, but over-inflation is just as dangerous as running low.
Cold Weather = Lower Pressure
Tire pressure isn’t set-it-and-forget-it. As the temperature drops, so does your PSI. For every 10°F decrease in temperature, your tires can lose about 1 PSI. That’s why regular checks are especially important during seasonal changes.
Why It Matters for Performance & Safety
Whether you’re cruising around Boise, hitting back roads in Nampa, or heading off-road in your UTV, proper tire pressure ensures:
- Smoother handling
- Better braking
- Longer-lasting tires
- Lower fuel costs
- And most importantly—a safer ride
