What happens when a tire is not inflated properly?

When a tire isn’t inflated properly, it wears down more quickly. If you notice that one or all of your tires are wearing out faster than usual, it may be because they’re underinflated. Your steering wheel is shaking or vibrating. Tires that are underinflated can make your vehicle quiver and shake, which is not a pleasant driving experience.

Can you change tire size based on tire size?
