What role does tire pressure play in ensuring even tread wear?

Underinflation causes excessive wear on the outer edges, while overinflation leads to excessive wear in the center. Maintaining the correct tire pressure improves tire longevity and fuel efficiency.

Tire Pressure Impact:

Underinflation: Causes the outer edges of the tire to wear faster, as the tire has more contact with the road.
Overinflation: Leads to excessive wear in the center of the tire, as the tire pressure pushes the tread into the center.
Proper Inflation: Maintaining the recommended tire pressure ensures even distribution of weight and better contact with the road, leading to longer tire life.

Do you check your tire pressure regularly, and have you noticed any tire wear patterns?
