Did you know driving with the wrong tire pressure can increase your fuel consumption by up to 3%?
It may not sound like much, but over a year that’s dozens of extra liters and more stops at the pump.

When your tire pressure is too low:

 The contact patch with the road increases.

 Your engine works harder to move the vehicle.

 More friction means faster tire wear.

When your tire pressure is too high:

 Grip can decrease in certain conditions.

 Tires wear unevenly.

Bottom line: Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips.

Pro tip: Pair regular maintenance with tires designed for maximum efficiency. At Tire Warehouse, we recommend the Michelin CrossClimate2 — an All Weather tire with low rolling resistance for reduced fuel consumption and reliable grip all year round.
