Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated.
Underinflated tires can:
- wear excessively and/or unevenly
- adversely affect fuel economy
- fail from being overheated
- adversely affect handling
Overinflated tires
WARNING
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires can adversely affect handling and ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping distance, and result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they are more likely to become punctured or damaged by road debris, potholes etc.
Overinflated tires can:
- adversely affect handling
- wear excessively and/or unevenly
- be more likely to become damaged
- adversely affect ride comfort
- increase stopping distance
