Why Should I Check My Tire Pressure?
When it comes to vehicle safety and performance, few factors are as easy to control yet frequently overlooked as tire pressure. If you’re commuting across town or embarking on a cross-country road trip, the air inside your tires plays a big role in how your vehicle handles, how much fuel it consumes, and how long your tires last.
At GT Radial, we believe performance starts with the basics—and that includes regularly checking your tire pressure. Read on to learn how tire pressure affects your driving experience, and why the ADVENTURO HT from GT Radial delivers exceptional stability, comfort, and performance no matter the road ahead.
Why Tire Pressure Matters
Your tires are your vehicle’s only point of contact with the road. Maintaining the proper pressure ensures an optimal contact patch, so you get the most from every drive. When tires are underinflated, they create excess friction and heat, which accelerates tread wear and increases the risk of blowouts. Overinflated tires, on the other hand, can reduce traction and make for a harsh ride.
Proper tire pressure improves:
- Fuel Efficiency: Low tire pressure increases rolling resistance, so your engine has to work harder.
- Tire Longevity: Consistently incorrect pressure causes uneven tread wear, shortening the life of your tires.
- Handling and Safety: Well-inflated tires grip the road better and help maintain control during emergency maneuvers.
How Often Should You Check It?
GT Radial recommends checking your tire pressure at least once a month and before any long trips. Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold, ideally in the morning after the vehicle has been parked overnight. Remember, even in the absence of visible deflation, tires can lose about one PSI of air per month.
What Makes the ADVENTURO HT Stand Out
Designed for highway driving in all seasons, the ADVENTURO HT is an exceptional choice for drivers who value comfort and control. Backed by a 65,000/50,000 mile limited warranty, this tire was engineered to maintain reliable performance even as temperatures fluctuate and miles add up.
Some key features of the ADVENTURO HT include:
- Continuous Center Rib: Delivers straight-line stability and improved braking performance at highway speeds.
- Full Depth Wave Sipes: Provide biting edges for better grip in wet and snowy conditions.
- Chamfered Tread Edges: Enhance water displacement to reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
- Harmonically Optimized Pitch Sequencing: Minimizes road noise for a quieter, more comfortable ride.
- Dual Sidewall Design: Gives drivers two aesthetic options to complement their vehicle’s look.
Available in rim sizes from 15 to 22 inches and rated M+S for all-season performance, the ADVENTURO HT is built to meet a wide range of driving needs with durability and precision.
