Does the Condition of the Tires Affect Fuel Economy in My Suzuki Bolan?

I’ve heard that the condition of tires can impact fuel economy. If my Suzuki Bolan’s tires are underinflated o r worn out, could it lead to higher fuel consumption? How do I ensure that my tires are in good condition for optimal fuel efficiency?

Yes, the condition of the tires can significantly impact the fuel economy of your Suzuki Bolan. Here’s how:

Underinflated Tires: When tires are not inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure, the vehicle experiences more rolling resistance, which means the engine has to work harder to move the vehicle. This results in increased fuel consumption.

Worn-out Tires: Worn-out tires have less grip and may cause the vehicle to consume more fuel due to decreased traction. They may also lead to improper alignment, which can cause uneven tire wear and decreased fuel efficiency.

Overinflated Tires: On the other hand, overinflated tires can reduce the tire’s contact with the road, resulting in less traction, which can lead to a bouncy ride and affect fuel economy.

Solution:

Regularly check and maintain the tire pressure at the recommended level.

Inspect your tires for wear and replace them if they are worn out o r damaged.

Ensure that your vehicle’s alignment is correct to prevent uneven tire wear.

Consider rotating your tires regularly to ensure even wear and improve fuel efficiency.
