Keep Tires Inflated & Save Energy

Stay safe on the roads and save energy by keeping your tires inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pounds per square inch (PSI.)

When your tires aren’t inflated properly they require more energy to move and maintain speed. Next time you stop by the gas station to fill up,  take a quick look at your owner’s manual and make sure your tires are inflated as recommended.  It’s especially important to keep them inflated properly when driving in winter ice & snow.
