Flats, blow outs, skids and longer stopping distances can all be the result of driving around Scottsbluff on underinflated tires. Admittedly, it's hard to tell when a radial tire is underinflated. If your vehicle manufacturer recommends 35 pounds of pressure, your vehicle tires are considered significantly underinflated at 26 pounds. The tire may not look low until it gets below 20 pounds.New laws require all vehicles to include a tire pressure monitor system, or TPMS. This technology has been used by race car drivers for years.

Of course, the TPMS system itself will cost something. Maintaining ... read more
