Main Menu Table Of Contents Tire Labeling, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Maximum Tire Pressure Required Federal Explanation Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Technical Information Max Press The maximum air pressure the tire can hold. Maximum Tire Load As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale Max Load The maximum load the tire can carry at maximum air pressure.
