Airing a problem with tire safety and performance

18 Nov 2016

How well do your tires hold air? You may be surprised at the lack of information available on such a critical, but basic, performance parameter for a tire. It is a fact that all radial tires lose air over time. Under laboratory conditions most commercial car tires lose 2-3% air pressure each month, but out on the roads and in hot climates, that pressure loss will be several times higher.
