🚗💨 More Air Isn’t Always More Efficient
Yes—slightly higher tire pressure can reduce rolling resistance and improve fuel economy… but there’s a catch.
⚠️ Overinflating your tires can cost you more in the long run:
• Uneven tire wear (center of the tire wears faster)
• Reduced grip on wet or icy roads ❄️
• Harsher ride quality over bumps
• Increased stress on suspension components over time
• Shorter tire lifespan = more frequent replacements 💸
📌 The key is balance. Your vehicle’s recommended tire pressure is engineered to give you the best mix of fuel efficiency, safety, and tire life.
👉 Check your door sticker, not the tire sidewall.
Saving a few cents on fuel shouldn’t cost you hundreds in tires and repairs.
