Improper tyre pressure significantly affects fuel economy, tyre wear, and handling. Underinflated tyres increase rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption and faster tyre wear on the edges. Overinflated tyres reduce the contact patch, causing poor grip, harsher ride, and uneven tread wear. Maintaining the manufacturer-recommended tyre pressure usually around 32-35 PSI for Tucson ensures optimal fuel efficiency, tyre longevity, and safe handling on Pakistan’s roads.
