FREE Air Check

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, tires that are underinflated can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 psi (pound per square inch) drop in the pressure of all four tires.

Poor gas mileage isn't the only consequence of underinflated tires, however. Tires that are substantially underinflated compromise both safety and tire life. Driving a vehicle with tires that are significantly underinflated increases the risk of tire failure, including blowouts and tread separation. These incidents could potentially result in loss of control of the vehicle.

Properly inflated tires also last longer, allowing drivers to save money by getting more mileage out of their tires and having to replace them less frequently.
