Underinflated car tyres have a significant effect on your car's performance. And on your bank balance.
When we are talking about the pitfalls of underinflated tyres, its not just about safety. Although this is the main reason we want to fix this problem.
An underinflated tyre can also cause you money problems. Be that through increased fuel usage – leading to greater bills at the petrol station. Or fixing your car after it has been involved in an accident cause by poorly maintained tyres.
Tyre Wear & Tear
One of the most notable signs of underinflated tyres is that over time the tread will wear quicker. And it will wear unevenly.
Underinflated tyres cause the rubber to sags as more of the tyre comes into contact with the road. This has the knock on effect of your tyre’s sidewalls to losing their shape. Leading to faster wear.
Should you ignore this problem for too long, it is highly likely that you will need to replace your tyres much sooner that normal. An expensive mistake to make.
