Of all the things that can affect the performance of your vehicle, incorrect tire pressure is one of the most important things yet one of the most ignored. Correct tire pressure is extremely important for the tire and the vehicle.

Overinflating the tire can be just as harmful as underinflating the tire. They can both cause poor performance, uncomfortable ride, and unnecessary wear and tear on the tires. It’s important to know the recommended air pressure for your vehicle.

Keep in mind that your tire size may be used on many different vehicles. The recommended air pressure that’s listed on the tire is what’s best for that tire but not necessarily for your vehicle. The recommended air pressure for your car can be found in two places: the owner’s manual and on the sticker that’s located on the inside of the driver’s door jamb. Tire pressure should be monitored regularly.
