Green Driving Tip: Adjust The Tire Pressure

Mar 22, 2011

By Staff writer State Farm™ Employee

You might not know it, but one of the simplest ways to improve your vehicle’s safety and save money at the pump is to make sure your tires are properly inflated.

According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration survey, the majority of vehicles on the road have at least one underinflated tire. It’s an especially disturbing statistic, considering how easy it is to keep your PSI (pounds per square inch) at the right level. Inflating your tires properly will make your vehicle safer — and it might just save you some money, too.
