3 Ways Keeping Proper Pressure in Your Tires Saves the Environment



Especially in a faltering economy, people are choosing to maintain their current vehicles rather than buying new ones. Car maintenance is not only about making your car last longer for monetary purposes, but it can also help the environment. Keeping the proper amount of air in your tires saves you money and helps the environment too.

3 reasons to keep the right amount of air in tires

1. Increases fuel economy. The proper amount of air in your tires helps to increase the fuel economy in your car. The less gas you have to put in your car, the less money you have to spend and the less fossil fuel resources have to be tapped.

2. Extends the life expectancy of the tires. Replacing tires on your car can be expensive. By maintaining the proper amount of air pressure, your tires will last longer. It saves you money and keeps your old tires out of the landfill (even though your tire place probably recycles the tires for other uses).

3. Reduces emission. With the proper amount of air, your car has to work less to make it go, which also reduces the amount of emissions your car is producing in the air. Proper air pressure and less of a carbon footprint go hand-in-hand so keep the right amount of air in all four of your tires.
Proper air pressure is the eco-chic way to go for your car and the environment. Put the right amount of air in your tires today (and always).
