Tire pressure is given either as maximum pressure or as a pressure range. How a tire performs under different terrain or weather con di tions depends largely on tire pres sure. Inflating the tire to near its max i mum rec om mend ed pressure gives the lowest rolling resistance; but also produces the harshest ride. High pressures work best on smooth, dry pavement. Very low pressures, at the bottom of the rec om mend ed pressure range, give the best performance on smooth, slick terrain such as har
