The topic of tire pressure has never been mentioned as frequently as in recent days. It seems to be gaining traction among those concerned about safety and saving money. We at TireMoni We welcome this development and are pleased that it is drawing general attention to proper tire function. Not only does well-inflated tires improve steering,
„"Furthermore, insufficient tire pressure reduces tire lifespan and increases braking distances. The German Association for Technical Inspection (GTÜ) therefore recommends regular tire pressure checks, as the correct pressures save fuel and ensure driving safety.".
Tires contribute up to 25 percent to a vehicle's fuel consumption. This is primarily due to rolling resistance, which, given constantly rising fuel prices, offers significant potential for savings. A car tire, under the vehicle's weight, compresses by approximately 10 to 15 percent at the contact patch, conforming to the road surface. It changes its round shape and becomes flatter. The resulting increased resistance consumes drive energy, which is converted into heat. (Quoted from...) http://auto-clever.de/21294-ratgeber-der-richtige-reifendruck-spart-geld
