The "it" is checking the pres- sure in your car's tires, some- thing you should be doing on a regular basis. Air is still free at many ser- vice stations, and inexpensive tire gauges are even available in supermarkets. Improper tire inflation takes its toll of tires through uneven wear and, in some cases, accidents. In addition to forcing you to replace tires more frequently, an underinflated tire creates more rolling resistance. More simply put, it means that your car burns more gasoline trying to push itself along on underin- flated tires. Telling Figures A tire underinflated by only five pounds of air increases fuel consumption by as much as sev- en per cent. What is the right amount of air to putin your tires? This depends not only on the tire but on how you plan to drive our car. Most manufacturers ist recommended tire pres- sures in owner's manuals sup- plied with their cars. If you don't have an owner's manual for your car, look inside the glovebox or on your car's sun visor for a sticker listing pressures. Check tire pressure in morning Recommended pressures nor- mally apply to cold tires, meéan- ing that you should check your tire pressures early in the morning, before you begin your drive. Also listed on the table are recommended tire pressures for cruising at certain speeds with a given number of passengers and amount of baggage. The Whether your in the field, or on the road this truck is A REAL WORK HORSE! Chev Olds (€1=To) Cadillac TOLL FREE 180016685843 rule of thumb here is to increase tire pressures as anticipated cruising speeds or loads rise. If underinflating a tire is bad, what about overinflation? The answer is that putting too much air in your tires is not advisable because, like underinflation, this can 'also cause tires to wear prematurely, decrease ride comfort, alter your car's han- dling performance, and reduce the tire's contact patch, that small square of your tire in con- tact with the road's surface at a given moment. How do you know if your car's tires need more or less air? One way is that an underinflated tire will often show wear on the outer surfaces of the tread. An overinflated tire will show wear by the smoothing of the tread in the middle of the tire, but your best bet is keeping a tire gauge in your car and tak- ing readings regularly.
