if im asking for the answer why the f**k would i want to answer
Does under inflating tires increase fuel economy?
Over inflating tires can slightly increase gas mileage by creating less roll resistence (less tire touching the road). However, there are several downsides. Decreased traction means worse braking and handling, especially on wet pavement. Also, increased air pressure will cause premature and uneven tire wear in the middle of the tire.
Incorrect tire inflation can adversely affect?
Tire wear, vehicle handling and gas mileage.
what will adversely affect gas mileage tire wear and vehicle handling Radial tires will improve gas mileage?
incorrect tire inflation
Will incorrect tire inflation cause tire wear?
Yes. Low pressure will cause edge wear. Over inflation will cause center wear.
Incorrect tire inflation will adversely affect?
Incorrect tire inflation can affect several things. It can compromise handling, lead to premature tire wear, reduce fuel economy, and may cause damage to the drive train.
What is the best tire inflation number for improving gas mileage?
Different size tires require different inflation amounts. You can find the amount of air you need on the side of the tire. To increase gas mileage you should slightly over inflate your tires.
What can incorrect tire inflation impact?
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.
What other factors cause tire inflation?
Tire inflation is simply adding more air or less air to the car. If you are referring to inflation as in the price of the tire then this is caused by the price of the components the tire is constructed of. The price of rubber being the main cause of price increases in tires. Of course shipping costs and labor costs are also a factor.
Why is the gas mileage so high on my 1986 Toyota truck?
you may have changed the tire size which will give you incorrect mileage hence causing an erroneous gas mileage reading.
What causes your bicycle tire to wear down?
Extreme braking and low inflation cause wear on a bike tire.
What cause tire wear unevenly in patches?
Improper inflation or front end out of alignment.
What is the most likely cause of tire wear?
Worn suspension/steering parts Incorrect tire pressure Alignment
Can over-inflation cause tire slipping?
Severe overinflation can blow a tire off the rim, but unless that happens underinflation is a far more reason for tire slippage.
