Find out if you're "intelligent tire"

Hello everyone!

A recent national survey found that only one out of six American riders is "intelligent tire" when it comes to tire pressure control, quick and simple steps that can improve vehicle safety and fuel economy and helps tires last longer.

Genus & Gap

There are significant differences between men and women and between young and old riders.

Men are more likely than women to be "intelligent tire" according to the survey. About 20 percent of men and 14 percent of women are considered "intelligent tire". This means that fewer women know how to check your tire pressure monthly and check the tires when they are cold (before driving). Women know better than people where to find the correct tire pressure for their vehicle: up or the driver's door and in the owner's manual.

There is a clearer difference between generations. Twenty-seven percent of drivers aged 60 and older are "intelligent tire", while only 8 percent of drivers 18-39 KNOWS the basic tips for correct tire pressure control. The survey was conducted for the Rubber Manufacturers Association, which represents tire manufacturers in the United States

Security risk

Worn tires pose a risk to security, waste fuel and cause premature wear of the tire. The United States Department of energy estimates that properly inflated tires can save approximately 11 cents per gallon to gas prices today.

Motorists can be Tire Smart and play the part.

Pressure

Check tire pressure monthly with a rubber gauge and inflate to the pressure recommended on the manufacturer of the vehicle.

Alignment

Wheel misalignment can cause rapid and irregular wear of the tread.

Rotation

Rotate your tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles to help you achieve more uniform wear.

Tread

Unusual and advanced wear can reduce the capacity of the tread to grip the road in adverse conditions.
