General information Tires can affect fuel consumption in various ways, e.g., tire size may influence fuel consumption.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly Check and, if needed, correct the tire inflation pressure at least twice a month and before starting on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling resistance and thus raises fuel consumption and tire wear.

Look well ahead when driving
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
