Wear and deterioration around the 'edge' of each tyre, which is serious if the metal ply is staring to show through, and also a flat or unrounded appearance at the bottom of the tyre. Tyre pressure is measured in Psi (pounds per square inch), and correct tyre pressure can be taken using both manual or digital pressure gauges, that are available in most car accessory shops. They aren't expensive, but remember that each make and model of car has it's own correct precise tyre pressure, and there can also be a difference in pressure requirement between the front and rear tyres.
What else can I help you with?
What indicates under-inflated tires?
tread on the sides of the tire will be more worn down then the middle
Can tires be hazardous if over inflated or under inflated?
Yes, tires can be hazardous if they are over-inflated or under-inflated. Over-inflated tires can lead to reduced traction, a harsher ride, and an increased risk of blowouts due to excessive pressure. Conversely, under-inflated tires can cause poor handling, increased tire wear, and overheating, which can also result in blowouts. Maintaining the correct tire pressure is essential for safety and optimal vehicle performance.
Could under inflated tires cause heat that could lead to tire blowouts?
Yes, under-inflated tires are dangerous. They can also leave the rim under heavy cornering.
Do under inflated tires wear out more quickly?
Yes they do.
What are under inflated tires?
Under-inflated tires are tires that do not have sufficient air pressure, which can lead to decreased performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased wear. Driving on under-inflated tires can cause overheating and may increase the risk of tire blowouts. It's essential to regularly check tire pressure and maintain it at the manufacturer's recommended levels for safety and optimal vehicle handling.
What causes truck tire fires?

How does hydroplaning happen?
you drive too fast through standing water on under- inflated tires.
Driving with under-inflated tires can affect?
The braking of the car and, give the driver heavy steering
What are the consequences of either over or under-inflated tires?
Over-inflated tires can lead to reduced traction, uneven tire wear, and an increased risk of blowouts due to the tires being too rigid. Conversely, under-inflated tires can cause poor handling, decreased fuel efficiency, and excessive wear on the tire's edges, potentially leading to tire failure. Both conditions compromise vehicle safety and performance, making regular tire pressure checks essential.
What lowers mpg in a vehicle?
Accelerating and braking abruptly, an out-of-tune engine, under-inflated tires, to name a few.
Where would the tread of a tire be worn out if the tire were under-inflated?
Underinflated tires wear faster on the sides than the middle.
