• Abstract:
  Although 85% of the population of drivers are concerned about maintaining proper tire inflation in their vehicles, only 25% use the correct method to determine the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure for their tires. In addition, 43% of the population do not take an active role in maintaining their tire pressure. “Tire Pressure Special Study: Interview Data” is the second in a series of research notes containing results from the Tire Pressure Special Study (TPSS) conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2001. The focus of this research note is on results from the driver interviews. Upcoming research notes will highlight vehicle profile data and observations of actual tire pressure.
