Drivers know how important oil changes and tire rotation to the safety of a car. But how many consider properly inflated tires as a factor in their spending, as well a key in environmental preservation?

According to an article on carjunky.com, the tires are undeniably linked to both of these. Besides saving the environment, keeping tires properly inflated can save you a few dollars. The article states, “one study showed that if gas costs $3 per gallon, proper tire pressure can save you up to $432 at the pump each year.” And the monetary rewards are only a portion of the benefits to reap from full tires.

The article also claims that if tires remain fully inflated, a car’s carbon footprint (its affects on the environment) will be reduced by over 300 pounds.

Car experts recommend when checking the pressure on your car’s tires to follow the prescriptions in your car’s manuals, not the pounds on your tire’s sidewall.
