The danger of under inflated or overloaded tires is evident in a recent tire recall. Cooper Tire and Rubber is recalling certain Discoverer H/T tires because the tires have been produced with an incorrect load range and incorrect inflation range stamped on the tires.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated that the inaccurate tire labeling may lead to the tire being over-loaded and/or under-inflated, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Not only can improper inflation cause accidents because of tire failure, improper inflation can cause a motor vehicle to brake and steer improperly.
