Under-inflation can lead to tyre failure. It results in unnecessary tyre stress, irregular wear, loss of control and accidents as well as reduced fuel economy.
It’s important to have the proper air pressure in your tyres, as underinflation can lead to tyre failure. The correct inflation pressure for your tyres is specified by the vehicle manufacturer and is shown on the vehicle door edge, door post, glove box door or fuel filler cap. It is also listed in the owner’s manual.
NB: It is the air inside the tyre which carries the load –not the tyre itself
