Would you run 100 psi in your car tires?
Of course not.
AIR CTI
Why not?
• Because it would be grossly over inflated.
• So?
• It would ride terribly…
• It would not handle
• It would not stop
• It would not be safe
• Excessive Tire wear Danger
Stop
AIR CTI
Why is it so?
• Very little rubber contacting the road
• No tire deflection.
• No flexing around road surface irregularities.

Tires must have a flat contact area
This tire is very Over inflated.Note: No flat contact patch
This tire is correctly inflated.Note: Long contact patch
