What do you need to do if your tire pressure is low?

If your tire pressure is low, the appropriate action is to inflate the tires to the recommended pressure. Maintaining proper tire pressure is essential for safe driving, as it affects vehicle handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear. Under-inflated tires can lead to decreased traction, increased stopping distance, and a higher risk of tire blowouts. Therefore, checking the tire pressure and inflating the tires to the manufacturer’s specifications is a crucial step in vehicle maintenance and ensuring safe driving conditions.

Ignoring low tire pressure or assuming everything is fine when the indicator light is off can lead to serious safety hazards. Simply changing the tires without addressing the pressure issue won't resolve the underlying problem. Additionally, driving at reduced speeds with improperly inflated tires does not mitigate the risks associated with low tire pressure, and proper inflation should always be the first corrective action taken.
