tire-pressure
Air in wheels
Tire-pressure is the amount of air inside a vehicle's tires, measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) or bar.
Proper tire pressure affects fuel efficiency, handling, and tire wear.
Check your tire-pressure before long trips.
Low tire-pressure triggers dashboard warning lights in modern vehicles.
