What direct benefit is obtained by driving with the tires at the pressure indicated by the manufacturer?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Maintaining the correct tire pressure, according to the manufacturer's indications, is essential for the safety and economy of the vehicle. With the right pressure, the tread rests optimally on the roadway, which ensures even wear across its entire surface and significantly lengthens its service life. By contrast, driving with an inadequate pressure, especially a low one, increases rolling resistance and raises fuel consumption, while the correct pressure helps to optimize it; for that reason, increasing fuel costs is not a benefit. Likewise, an optimal pressure improves grip and response in curves, and reduces braking distances; reducing safety and grip is, therefore, the opposite of what happens.
