Incorrect tire inflation will impact a few things, the first being tire wear and the second being fuel mileage. If the tire pressure is too low, you will experience wear on the outer portions of the tread. This leads to the tire having a larger contact patch with the road and increases friction. More friction means more fuel being consumed per given mile. This can also cause excessive heat in the tire which can lead to catastrophic failure of the tire. Remember the SUV Firestone tire issue. Improper tire pressure caused those issues. High tire pressure will cause wear in the center of the tire. Improper wear due to high or low pressure will interfere with the tires wet handling capability and can lead to hydroplaning or loss of traction. You may also experience the car wanting to drift or pull. Check your tire pressures once a week or when you get gas, you just may save you or someone's life.
