Freightliner Sprinter 3500 Tire Pressure

Tire pressure can be a major health and safety issue for commercial vehicles like the Freightliner Sprinter 3500. Tire under-inflation can cause increased tire wear, excessive heat build-up leading to blowouts, and poorer vehicle handling resulting in potential accidents and decreased fuel efficiency. Tire over-inflation on the other hand can lead to decreased steering control, reduced braking power and an uncomfortable driving experience. Tire pressure should always be checked prior to any long drive as air naturally escapes from tires over time. For optimal performance when driving the Freightliner Sprinter 3500, ensure that all four tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended PSI (pounds per square inch). (more…)
