tire pressure
Rubber air level
Tire pressure is the amount of air inside a vehicle's tires, measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) or similar units.
Proper tire pressure affects fuel efficiency, handling, and tire wear.
Check your tire pressure before a long road trip.
Low tire pressure can cause poor handling and increased fuel consumption; overinflation makes for a harsh ride and uneven wear.
