Keeping your tires properly inflated might seem like a small thing—but it can make a huge difference. At GoUsed Tires, we’ve seen it all: worn-out tread, uneven wear, and even damaged rims—all because of low tire pressure. Whether you’re driving across California or elsewhere, maintaining the right pressure keeps you safe, saves fuel, and extends the life of your tires.

Why Tire Pressure Matters

Your tires are the only part of your car that touches the road. When they’re under-inflated, they flex more than they should, causing heat buildup and uneven wear. This not only affects your car’s handling but also your wallet.

Here’s what can happen when tires are under-inflated:

•  Reduced Fuel Efficiency: The engine works harder, burning more gas. Even a small drop in PSI can hurt your mileage.
•  Increased Blowout Risk: Low pressure = more heat = higher risk of tire failure on the road.
•  Uneven Wear: You’ll notice the outer edges wearing faster, which shortens tire life.
•  Poor Handling: Steering and braking become less responsive, especially in rain or sharp turns.

What Causes Tires to Lose Air?

Even if you haven’t run over a nail, your tires naturally lose air over time. Common reasons include:

•  Weather Changes: Cold mornings can drop your pressure by a few PSI.
•  Small Punctures: Nails or tiny leaks can cause slow deflation.
•  Damaged Valve Stems: A worn valve stem can leak air without you noticing.
•  Time: Tires naturally lose about 1–2 PSI every month.

Simple Tips to Keep Your Tires in Check

You don’t need to be a mechanic—just follow these easy steps to keep your tires healthy:

1. Check your pressure monthly (or before long drives).
2. Use a digital gauge for accurate readings.
3. Measure when cold (before driving).
4. Follow your car’s PSI guide on the door frame—not the number on the tire.
5. Inspect for cracks or bulges during each wash or oil change.

If your tires are old, worn out, or losing air often, it might be time to replace them.
