Correct tire inflation pressure...
Mechanics (different vehicle systems)
Explanation
To maintain safety while driving, it is crucial that the tires have the **correct inflation pressure**. This is because adequate pressure helps the tires be more resistant and better support the weight of the vehicle.
- **Inflation pressure lower than recommended:** If the tires are inflated below the recommended level, they heat up and deform more easily, increasing the risk of bursting. Additionally, the vehicle becomes less stable and consumes more fuel.
- **Inflation pressure higher than recommended:** Although there is no mention of a direct risk of bursting, excessive pressure reduces the tire's contact with the ground, which can affect driving safety.
Therefore, maintaining the correct inflation pressure is essential to **reduce the risk of tire bursting** and ensure safe driving. It is recommended to check the pressure at least once a month and before long trips.
