2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tir e rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption. 3. Ride Comfort and V ehicle Stability?[...]

CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped.
