Many drivers don't give much thought to their tires until there's a problem such as a blowout, and maintaining proper tire pressure is often overlooked. The experts at Charlotte AutoFair, an auto show and car exhibit in Charlotte, NC, love classic cars and the people who drive them and want to see them make smart choices. Making sure your tire pressure adheres to manufacturer recommendations is more important than most people realize. Tire pressure can affect the performance of your vehicle in the following ways:

• Fuel Economy: Optimizing your fuel economy is good for the environment, and it will save you money at the gas pump. Poorly inflated tires can have a negative impact on your car's fuel economy. Having tires that are properly inflated will allow you to get the best gas mileage your car can deliver.
• Tire Wear: Tires are expensive to replace, and they will wear out much more quickly if they are not properly inflated. Wear patterns tend to improve when tires are kept inflated according to manufacturer specifications.
• Safety: When tire pressure is lower than recommended, it can have an adverse effect on the handling of your vehicle. Tire traction will decrease, and this can make driving more dangerous. Keeping tires properly inflated will optimize tire grip in ways that can help keep you safe on the road.
