omg this is stupid, never ever inflate the tires to the max of what it says on the tires. Always inflate it to what it says on the manufactuers placard. If you inflate it to the max you will lose traction and possibly even blow out the tire also you will wear out the middle of the tire and lots of companies will not warranty the tire if it comes back bald down the middle. Also dont wait to check the pressure only once per season , that would mean your only checking it four times a year, that would mean your driving around with underinflated tires. Which means this whole video about reducing green house emissions is a waste of time because you would actually be increasing it because you are having to burn up more gas. It should be done at least on a monthly basis, thats twelve times a year or every two weeks if you do alot of driving. This video is so inaccurate with information.

do not set your tires to the max listed on tires this is over inflating and decresses your tires contact patch with the road which will decrese braking power of your veichal, make skiding and loss of control more common, stiffer ride, more vibrashion and may caulse a tire blow out or even death.

(Continued)... inactivity. Schedule one day out of the week or month and check your tires. Fourth, what's the correct air pressure to inflate to? You can use the recommended tire inflation specs on the side of your door, but achieving good MPGs would be difficult. Follow the 10% Rule. How it works, find the Max Psi on the tire and inflate them to 10% less to their max pressure. For example, if the tire has a max of 44 Psi, 10% of that is 4.4, so 44-4.4=39.6Psi, fill the tire to 39.6Psi or you can round it off to 40Psi. I have been receiving good MPGs by doing this to my vehicle. I have been "averaging" ; 22.3 MPG on my 1992 Dodge Stealth Base automatic. My average range to fill up my 19.8 gallon tank is at about 380 miles. My max to fill up is at about 430-440 miles. I live in NJ and I drive in 50% city/urban and 50% highway conditions. That's good for a 18 year old sports coupe. By the way, nice Eclipse Spyder. And also, do homework on your vehicle to achieve max

I want to make a few criticisms on this video. First off, the tire pressure gauges they used are not reliable and accurate. To get an accurate tire PSI (pressure per square inch) reading, you would need to use a digital tire pressure gauge. These are very reliable, easy to use and read, and are fairly inexpensive. Overall, they are better than the pencil gauges. Second, do not fill the tires to their maximum pressure because you are then "over inflating" the tire. The center of the tire would be worn quicker than the shoulders. Additionally, you would risk a severe tire blow out. The reason is that a rolling tire on the road will gain excess pressure and just like a balloon, it will pop due to wear, a sharp object on the road, a deep pothole, etc. Third, do not check your tires every season and do not rely on a visual inspection. It is ideal to check every once a week or at least once a month. Air pressure in the tire will decrease overtime due to normal wear and i
