Properly inflated tires will keep you and your loved ones driving safely.
 
Post by Rod Wood - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has attributed under inflated tires  to crashes that result in 660 fatalities and 33,000 injuries each year. Sadly, a survey by the
Rubber Manufacturers found that an estimated 15% of drivers properly check their tires.
 
NHTSA also found that 27 percent of passenger cars and 32 percent of light trucks have at least one significantly under-inflated tire.
 
One flat tire is bad enough---don't get stuck with two. 71% of drivers do not check the inflation pressure in their spare. Check your spare tire every month.
 
Drivers can improve gas mileage by around 3.3% by keeping tires inflated to the proper pressure.
 
To properly check inflation pressure: Use the correct inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, not the pressure listed on the tire sidewall.

Check tires when they are cold or haven't been driven for at least three hours.
