When tires are not kept at the recommended pressure, it can lead to rapid wear and blowouts, which cause accidents., 738 people were killed by tire-related car accidents in 2017 and only 19% of consumers properly inflate their tires.The NHTSA recommends checking tire pressure monthly, not ignoring tire pressure warnings from your vehicle and to regularly rotate tires to protect their tread.Ad FeedbackAd FeedbackAd Feedback
