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.
