Autumn is a time of change. More specifically, autumn temperatures rise
and fall pretty rapidly. As we go from summer to winter, fall temperatures
undergo some pretty severe drops. There are many things to watch out for when
temperatures change. Today we are going to talk about how temperatures affect
tire inflation.
Perfect tire inflation is vital in order to keep your tires effective for
as long as possible. Over or under inflated tires cause unusual and accelerated
wear on your tire tread, cause poor driving performance, and cause a loss in
miles per gallon. It is always important to check your tire pressure regularly
to make sure your tire pressure is at the recommended pressure for your
vehicle.
It is also vital to check your tire pressure every time there is a change
in temperate more than 10 degrees. A simple drop of 10 degrees Fahrenheit will
lower your tire’s air pressure by about 1 to 2 psi. As such, as the
temperatures outside get lower and lower, make sure to check your air pressure
often to keep your tires pumped up at the optimal air pressure for your
vehicle.
