How can I tell if my tire pressure is too low?

Often, it’s hard to spot an underinflated tire until it’s too late – in other words, it’s completely flat. Of course, you could carry a gauge around at all times to measure the pressure, but that’s not exactly convenient. Instead, watch for these signs and symptoms of tires that are underinflated. Your car isn’t handling as well as it usually does.
