Tire safety tips. 

 

 

Use this information to make tire safety a regular part of your vehicle maintenance routine. Recognize that the 

time you spend is minimal compared with the inconvenience and safety consequences of a flat tire or other tire 

failure.

Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load

-

carrying capability of your vehicle. 

Underinflated tires and overloaded vehicles are a major cause of tire failure. Therefore, as mentioned above, 

to avoid flat

 

tires and other types of tire failure, you should maintain proper tire pressure, observe tire and 

vehicle load limits, avoid road hazards, and regularly inspect your tires.

Tire information placards and vehicle certification labels contain information on tires and load limits. These 

labels indicate the vehicle manufacturer's information including:

 

 

 

Recommended tire size 

 

 

Recommended tire inflation pressure 

 

 

Vehicle capacity weight (VCW

the 

maximum occupant and cargo weight a vehicle is designed to carry) 

 

 

Front and rear gross axle weight ratings (GAWR

 

the maximum weight the axle systems are designed to 

carry). 

 

 

Both placards and certification labels are permanently attached to the trailer near the left front.

Tire inflation pressure is the level of air in the tire that provides it with load

-

carrying capacity and affects the 

overall performance of the vehicle. The tire inflation pressure is a number that indicates the amount of air 

pressure

 

measured in pounds per square inch (psi)

a tire requires to be properly inflated. (You will also find 

this number on the vehicle information placard expressed in kilopascals (kpa), which is the metric measure 

used internationally.)

 

 

Manufacturers of passenger vehicles and light trucks determine this number based on the vehicle's design 

load limit, that is, the greatest amount of weight a vehicle can safely carry and the vehicle's tire size.  The 

proper tire pressure for your vehicle is referred to as the "recommended cold inflation pressure." (As you will 

read below, it is difficult to obtain the recommended tire pressure if your tires are not cold.)

 

Because tires are designed to be used on more than one type of

 

vehicle, tire manufacturers list the "maximum 

permissible inflation pressure" on the tire sidewall. This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that 

should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions.

It is important to check your vehicle's tire pressure at least once a month for the following reasons:

 

 

 

Most tires may naturally lose air over time. 

 

 

Tires can lose air suddenly if you drive over a pothole or other object or if you strike the curb when 

parking. 

 

 

With radial tires, it is usually not possible to determine underinflation by visual inspection. 

 

 

For convenience, purchase a tire pressure gauge to keep in your vehicle. Gauges can be purchased at tire 

dealerships, auto supply stores, and other retail outlets. 

 

The recommended tire inflation pressure that vehicle manufacturers provide reflects the proper psi when a tire 

is cold. The term cold does not relate to the outside temperature. Rather, a cold tire is one that has not been 

driven on for at least three hours. When you drive, your tires get warmer, causing the air pressure within them 

to increase. Therefore, to get an accurate tire pressure reading, you must measure tire pressure when the tires 

are cold or compensate for the extra pressure in warm tires.
