What indicates under-inflated tires?
tread on the sides of the tire will be more worn down then the middle
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.
Why is low tire pressure warning light blinking?
It means that one or more of your tires are under inflated. Check your manual for the correct tire pressure for your vehicle and then pump the tires up to the proper tire pressure. Do all four tires. The warning light should go off shortly after.
What would cause thumping noise like flat tire only during these cold mornings?
The tires are developing a flat spot from sitting overnight. The tire sits there in the cold and the rubber contacting the driveway becomes rigid. Some tires are worse than others when it comes to this. As the tire warms up the flat spot disappears as the rubber becomes more flexible, and the noise & vibration stops. Under-inflated tires are more susceptible to this. Keep your tires inflated to the factory recommended specs and that will help.
Why is an explanation mark lit on the dash of your jeep liberty?
The Jeep Liberty is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and a light on the dashboard that looks like an exclamation point will light up if one or more of the tires on the Jeep is significantly under-inflated. You should check the air pressure in all of your tires, and make sure that each tire is properly inflated.
How does having the proper tire pressure in your tire affect the envoriment?
First, your car gets the best gas mileage with properly inflated tires. That means less pollution produced and less gasoline consumed. Second, tires wear out faster when under or over inflated. Making tires costs many different resources and adds pollution to the environment. Disposing of old tires also adds pollutants to the environment. Finally, if your tires are not properly inflated you are more likely to get into an accident due to inefficient braking and steering. If you get in an accident resources will have to be used to help you and others. Your car may also leak pollutants such as gasoline, antifreeze, and oil if it is involved in an accident.
Do Incorrectly inflated tires increase surface rolling resistance?
Yes, incorrectly inflated tires can increase surface rolling resistance. Underinflated tires have more tread in contact with the road, causing extra friction and resistance. Overinflated tires can decrease the contact patch size, leading to increased pressure on the ground and higher rolling resistance as well.
What will happen to an under-inflated balloon if left in sun?
It will inflate a bit more.
You will use more fuel if your tyres are over flated or underflated?

What much psi is needed in a tires of a 2010 dodge charger?
Check the tire placard on the driver's side door sill. The TPMS sensors require 32 psi to consider the tires "inflated," but some tires require more pressure for optimal wear.
What happens when tires are unaligned?
They wear more quickly and unevenly. Such a condition can affect steering.
What happens when the 1999 grand prix tires are inflated to 50 psi?
The tire will wear more rapidly in the center of the tread... The proper PSI is printed in the door jam... Assuming they are stock tires. 32PSI is a good rule of thumb on cars like that.
