A lower tire pressure makes the tire softer, meaning a smoother ride. This is a technique used by some who feel their suspension is too harsh. By decreasing tire pressure, it compensates for stiff suspension slightly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 12pt\">Lower tire pressure increases the contact patch with the driving surface. For specialty vehicles, such as off-road vehicles like rock crawlers, this increases the grip on all-terrain surfaces and obstacles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"concerns-about-underinflating-your-tires\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 12pt\">Concerns about underinflating your tires<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 12pt\">Decreasing your tire pressure can have detrimental effects on your vehicle\u2019s operation. The softer sidewall exaggerates the sway your vehicle experiences when cornering, and in top-heavy vehicles it can cause rollovers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 12pt\">When an underinflated tire hits a pothole, it increases the possibility of damaging a tire. Damage can occur if a tire is even 6 psi lower than it should be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 12pt\">Underinflated tires wear excessively on both inner and outer shoulders. The decreased tire pressure means the center of the tread bows in slightly, meaning the tire is riding heavily on the outer edges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 12pt\">Your tire pressures have been stringently researched by your automaker and should be adhered to for the optimum tire wear and comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your car\u2019s tires have been specially matched to your vehicle.
