2. Economy—

Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear

patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal

wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in aneed for

earlier tire replacement. Underinflation also increases tire

rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consumption.

3. Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability—

Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfortable ride.

Overinflation produces a jarring and uncomfortable ride.

Tire Inflation Pressures

The proper cold tire inflation pressure for passenger cars

is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the

driver’s side “B” pillar. For vehicles other than passenger

cars, the cold tire inflation pressures are listed on either

the “B” pillar, the Certification Label or in the Tire

Inflation Pressures brochure in the glove compartment.

Some vehicles may have Supplemental Tire Pressure

Information for vehicle loads that are less that the maxi-

mum loaded vehicle condition. These pressure condi-

tions will be found in the “Supplemental Tire Pressure

Information” section of this manual.

The pressure should be checked and adjusted as well as

inspecting for signs of tire wear or visible damage at least

once a month. Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to

check tire pressure. Do not make a visual judgement

when determining proper inflation. Radial tires may look

properly inflated even when they are underinflated.
