Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Keeping the tires at the correct pressure indicated by the manufacturer ensures that the contact patch on the asphalt is the right one, which translates directly into better grip, greater stability and shorter braking distances. Incorrect pressure brings risks and costs: if it is too low (underinflation), rolling resistance and with it fuel consumption increase, in addition to wearing the sidewalls or shoulders unevenly; if it is too high, the contact surface decreases and road holding is reduced. Therefore, a suitable pressure never reduces service life or increases consumption, but optimizes road holding and tire life.
