Under/over inflation has direct degrading impact on control of the vehicle.
- Correct tyre pressure provides proper sidewall flexing and safe operating temperature of the tyres. Under-inflation creates excessive heat, seriously reducing tyre life and performance.
- Braking distances can increase. 40% under inflation increases braking distance by 10% (source Michelin)
- Any pressure imbalance between tyres on the same axle reduces grip and leads to under-steer (source Michelin)
