Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial for optimal performance, fuel economy, and tire longevity. Here’s how incorrect tire pressure affects these aspects:

Under-inflated tires: If the tires are under-inflated, they have more surface contact with the road, which increases rolling resistance. This leads to poor fuel economy as the engine has to work harder and can also cause excessive tire wear on the outer edges. It can reduce vehicle handling and make the ride less stable, especially at higher speeds.

Over-inflated tires: If the tires are over-inflated, the center of the tire will wear faster, reducing the tire’s lifespan. It also reduces traction and increases the risk of tire blowouts, especially on rough roads.

Optimal Tire Pressure:

For the Suzuki Every, the recommended tire pressure is typically 30–32 psi for both front and rear tires. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendation in your vehicle’s manual.

Solutions:

Regularly check and adjust the tire pressure, ideally once a month o r before long trips.

Keep the tire pressure within the recommended range to improve fuel economy, handling, and tire life.
