Lower than recommended pressure can cause:
• Tire squeal on turns.
• Separations.
• Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread.
• Circumferential breaks.
• Tire container may bruise or rupture.
• Higher risk of road hazard.
• Tire cord breakage.
• Loss of casing durability.
• Excessive tire temperature.
• High fuel consumption.
• Reduced handling quality.
WARNING:
A slow leak may go unnoticed on one of the dual tires. This can
cause the good tire paired with it to fail due to exceeding the load
limits it is designed to carry. Tires with damaged sidewalls can
burst upon inflation. A flat or nearly flat tire can also generate
enough heat from friction to ignite.
Unequal tire pressures on same axle can cause:
• Uneven braking, swerve upon acceleration.
• Steering lead, torque steer.
• Reduced handling quality.
WARNING:
For safety purposes clear the area of people and pets during tire inflation. Inflate
tires using a remote inflation device.
