Incorrect tire pressure in the Suzuki Alto Lapin can lead to several noticeable symptoms:

Low Tire Pressure Symptoms:

Tire Warning Light: Most modern vehicles, including the Suzuki Alto Lapin, are equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System TPMS. If the tire pressure is too low, the warning light on your dashboard will alert you.
Flat o r Bulging Tires: When a tire is underinflated, it may appear flat o r bulging at the bottom. This is because the tire is not holding its proper shape.
Rough Ride: Low tire pressure can cause the car to feel less stable and make the ride feel bumpier.
Uneven Tire Wear: Tires with low pressure wear out more quickly and unevenly, often wearing down the outer edges.
Increased Fuel Consumption: Low tire pressure can lead to higher rolling resistance, which reduces fuel efficiency.
High Tire Pressure Symptoms:

Stiff Ride: Tires that are overinflated will make the ride feel harsher as they have less give when encountering bumps in the road.
Excessive Tire Wear in the Center: Overinflated tires wear more in the middle of the tread because they make more contact with the road in the center.
Loss of Traction: High tire pressure reduces the contact area between the tire and the road, which can affect traction, especially in wet conditions.
Increased Risk of Tire Damage: Overinflated tires are more likely to burst o r get damaged from sharp objects because they are more rigid.
