Maintaining a vehicle is a lot of work. One thing that often gets neglected is monitoring your tire pressure. At MINI of Burlington, we want you to know that ignoring this task can be expensive and even dangerous.
When your tire pressure is incorrect, your fuel economy is negatively impacted. Braking, handling, and even your comfort can also take a hit. Your vehicle's manufacturer will have a recommendation for the correct psi for your vehicle. Check the inside of the driver's door to find the decal with this information, or check your owner's manual.
Tires naturally lose some of their pressure over time. You can lose 1-2 psi, or pounds per square inch, over the course of a month due to temperature changes, payload, and damage to your tire. Dramatic temperature changes can have a significant impact. You should check your tire pressure once a month here in Shelburne, VT.
