Having good quality tires is essential to your safety and other drivers on the road. Unsafe tires contribute to accidents as well as inconveniences, such as a flat. But the air pressure in your tires is just as important as the quality condition of the tread. Sill-TerHar Mazda wants you to remain safe while driving in Broomfield, CO, and around the Denver area.
Tires have a minimum and maximum air pressure level, which is listed on the sidewall of the tire. An over-inflated or under-inflated tire can cause your vehicle to pull to one side. That is extremely dangerous, especially at highway speeds. And because tires are vulnerable to nails, screws, and glass, an under-inflated tire can easily be punctured. That can cause a blow-out because the strength of the tire is weakened. The air pressure also contributes to the handling capability and comfort of your vehicle. Therefore, be sure to check it periodically. We recommend doing so while you're refueling.
