Tire Pressure Alert

Did you know under normal driving conditions most aluminum alloy rim wheel or magnesium alloy tire wheel assemblies lose 1 lb. of air per month. During the Fall and Winter Season, throughout much of the country, Lower outside air temperatures result in an air loss to most Car, Truck, and SUV tire rim and wheel assemblies.

Have you ever purchased a helium filled balloon and watched it shrink as you went outside into the cold air? Your tires experience the same reaction, only the effects are not as obvious. In fact you can expect your tire wheel rim assembly to lose an additional 1-2 pounds of air pressure for every 10 degrees of temperature drop.

An under-inflated tire will allow the rim wheel to bend more easily. It will also run hot, wear unevenly, and you can say good-bye to the mileage warranty as well. An under inflated tire operates at a much higher heat and will result in premature deterioration of the side wall creating a very unsafe condition. So make sure you keep the tires properly inflated and checked monthly, your tires and wallet will appreciate it.
