Inflation

TIRES are hit by inflation twice.

First, there’s the kind that makes us wince when we reach for our wallets, but

there's also the air pressure type of inflation that most people don't think much about. When it comes to tires, this kind of inflation

have them checked with the gauge regularly. At least as regularly as you have your oil checked. This is especial- ly important in summer because hot weather can have a Strange effect on tire pressure. When a tire is warm, the air expands, and you can’t get a true reading.

THIS smart motorist checks tire pressure with a pocket size guage, knowing that correct tire pressure and in- flation will save him money.

Overinflation is also damaging to tires, so be sure the pressure does not exceed the recommended pounds per square inch (PSI) in- dicated on the tire. Radial tires always look as if they need air, so many people make the mistake of putting too much air in them. That can be an expensive mistake. Proper inflation cannot be overemphasized.

As we've said, the best way to save money on tires is after you buy them. Owners who check their tires regu- larly and correct problems as they develop are rewarded by thousands of extra miles of use.

Here are some signs of trouble to watch for:

°The tire is wearing on the outside edge of the tread. A sign of underinflation. Other indicators may be a mushy ride and a tendency for the tires to ‘‘squeal’’ when going around corners.
