Low tire pressure can significantly impact the performance and safety of your Suzuki Alto Lapin:

Decreased Fuel Efficiency: When tire pressure is low, the tire has more surface area in contact with the road. This increases rolling resistance, which requires more fuel to maintain speed.
Poor Handling and Stability: Low tire pressure reduces the tires ability to grip the road, which can make the car feel less stable, especially in corners o r during high-speed driving.
Increased Braking Distance: Underinflated tires will have less traction and longer braking distances, increasing the risk of accidents in emergency situations.
Uneven Tire Wear: When tires are underinflated, they wear more quickly and unevenly, especially along the edges of the tire, leading to the need for earlier replacement.
Overheating of Tires: Low tire pressure can cause tires to overheat, which can lead to blowouts, especially on long drives o r in hot weather.
