Maintenance Tip

Tire pressure changes with the rising temperatures -- approximately one to two PSI (pounds per square inch) for every 10-degree increase in outside air temperature

An under-inflated tire bulges outward and puts undo pressure on the sidewalls of the tire. With enough heat and pressure, that tire eventually will blow.

An over-inflated tire, on the other hand, makes less contact with the road and can lead to hydroplaning in wet conditions.
