Time & Temperature Affect Pressure
Tires can lose one psi (pound per square inch) per month under normal conditions.
Additionally, tires can lose 1psi for every 10 degrees fahrenheit temperature drop.
For safety and maximum fuel efficiency you should check your tires regularly, paying special attention during changes of seasons or conditions that result in large temperature changes to your tires.
Low Pressure Reduces Weight Capacity:
At 30 psi, the tire carrying capacity of our example vehicle is 6840 lbs.
At 20 psi (low pressure), the tire carrying capacity is 5610 lbs.
Allowing the tire pressure of a fully-loaded SUV weighing 6840 lbs. to decrease down to 20 psi will cause the vehicle to be 1230 lbs. overloaded. This is equivalent to more than eight people weighing 150 pounds each.
Think about what this does to safety, wear on the tires and fuel economy.
