Tire pressures that are too low pose the following hazards: R
they may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed
increase. R
they may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatly
impair tire traction. R
the driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, may
be greatly impaired.
