low tire pressure

Needs more air

Low tire pressure is when a vehicle's tires contain less air than recommended, reducing performance and safety.

Dashboard warning lights alert drivers to the condition.

The phrase appears in automotive contexts: The low tire pressure light came on during my commute.

Driving on underinflated tires increases fuel consumption and wear.
