Safety

· Low air pressure causes erratic wear and is the #1 cause of tire failures.

· Properly inflated tires extend tire casing life, resulting in less overheating and fewer blowouts.

· Low tire pressure increases required braking distances and dramatically affects steering and handling.

· The Society of Automotive Engineers indicates that 260,000 accidents, resulting in 79 deaths and 10,600 injuries, each year are due to low tire pressure.

Savings

· The Tire Maintenance Council reports that tires running 10% under-inflated lose up to 16% of their tread life.

· Tires under-inflated by 30% lost up to 10% fuel economy.

· The average downtime on the highway due to a flat tire is 3-4 hours.

· Roadside repairs costs average $400+.

· Properly inflated tires preserve casings resulting in the ability to increase retreads.
