Risks of Incorrect Tire Pressure:

Underinflation: Can cause overheating, rapid tread wear, increased risk of tire failure, and poor fuel efficiency.
Overinflation: Reduces traction, makes tires more prone to damage, and increases the risk of a blowout.

Regular pressure checks, especially before long trips, are vital for preventing these risks.
