 MAINTAINING PRESSURE The Transportation, Recall, Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act is a federal legislation that calls for all passenger cars and light trucks under 10,000 pounds of gross vehicle weight to be equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems no later than November 2003. This law was developed out of concern over the danger that under-inflated tires pose for passenger safety. It has been estimated that about one out of every four vehicles on the road is running on under-inflated tires. As a result, drivers are needlessly sacrificing their vehicle's fuel economy, handling, and reducing their tires' durability and tread life. This has made tire pressure maintenance an important safety issue throughout the automotive industry. Maintaining proper tire pressure will save you money!
