Some motorists don't know that their tyres are flat or under inflated others just buy new tyres but others don't have a problem with this because they check their tyres regularly.

What is the most common result of driving with an under inflated tire?
The most common result is uneven wear of the tires and tread. Over inflation will cause more wear in the center of the tire while under inflation will cause the outside tread to wear faster. Depending on how much it is under inflated, it could "eat" into your sidewalls if it is really low. Tire inflation also alters your driving performance, handling, and along with increasing gas mileage. Under inflation affects gas mileage because of drag (meaning slow it down) which will make the engine work harder to maintain speed. Try riding a bike with flat tires to see what I mean... haha. The performance and handling is degraded because and under inflated tire will "lean" and roll over itself in turns and increase the sway factor (which may cause you to slide).- Under inflated tires cause your engine to work harder; which means you increase the possibility of your engine blowing out sooner than it's supposed to.- Tires that are under inflated have a huge impact on steering & handling of your vehicle.- If your tires just so happen to squeal when you're turning a corner, that might mean that your tires have low pressure.- Even if your Used Tire is low in pressure, you wouldn't be able to tell; which is why it's important to monitor your tire pressure frequently.- Under inflated tires happens to be the leading cause of tire failure; it lead to tire stress, irregular tread wear, & even causes you to have less control if you regrettably get into an accident.- I think that the most important thing is that when you have tires that are under inflated, you waste more gas.The tire will wear on the outside edge of the tire. Vehicle will also handle poorly and get less mpg.

Will increasing the air in a tire waste less gas?
No, having your tires fully inflated will increase your miles per gallon (MPG) and give your vehicle a better ride/handling. When you tires are fully inflated and rotated regularly as specified by the dealer or tire company, then they have optimal performance and wear. You will get the most out of your dollar.
