Canadian ritual! But when was the last time you checked their pressure? Correct tire pressure is vital for fuel economy, safe vehicle handling and long tire life. And it's especially important during the winter. That's because cold temperatures cause the air pressure in tires to drop, which adds to the rolling resistance created by snow and slush. Each tire that is under-inflated .by 2 psi (14 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2000 wheels Tires need special attention in winter kPa) causes a one percent increase in fuel consumption. Under- inflation can also affect the way a tire grips the road, which can result in handling problems. For your own safety and to keep your fuel consumption to a minimum, check tire pressures regularly during the winter, especially after there has been a sharp drop in temperature. Before adding air to your tires, let some air out of each valve and blow some air out of the hose. This prevents moisture from gathering in the tire valve, where it can freeze and cause the valve to leak. As well, use your own tire pressure gauge, since the gauges built into air pumps at service stations are often inaccurate or missing. It's also a good idea to rotate your tires regularly (every 10,000 kilometres or so) to distribute the wear evenly among all four tires. In addition to promoting long tire life, this will help your tires deliver the best possible economy and safety. 3 ATTAINS ARTF 13 go} 8 Fe
