Vehicle Settings:
It is crucial to follow the tire pressure recommended by your car’s manufacturer, as stated in the handbook or on the door ledge. This pressure is not just about comfort and handling but also about your safety, as it works in harmony with the car's suspension for optimal performance.
Off-Road Settings:
Lower tire pressure off-road increases contact with the ground for better traction. However, to prevent damage, reinflate to standard pressure when back on paved roads.
Under-inflated Tires:
Under-inflation is harmful, leading to:
·?????? Poor tire wear.
·?????? Higher fuel consumption.
·?????? Poor handling.
In summary, you should stick to your OE-recommended tire pressure settings and maintain your tire inflation pressure as frequently as possible.
