The old saying “where the rubber meets the road” usually means something is reaching a critical point. Naturally the expression refers to automobile tires, since those crucial pieces of rubber are the only part of your car or truck that are supposed to make constant contact with the pavement. That’s why it’s important to know and maintain the correct amount of air pressure in vehicle’s tires. 
To get the right amount, turn not to the tire itself but to the vehicle and a label will often be located in the doorjamb. That’s where you can find the vehicle manufacturers suggested inflation level for car or truck. If it’s not there, check the owner’s manual. Recently, a reader asked why tire sidewalls often show a pressure rating, shown in maximum pounds per square inch (psi) that differs from the vehicle maker’s recommendation. This may be obvious to auto enthusiasts and mechanics, but not all motorists understand all the nuances.  
Tiremakers start with a set of standards, set by the Tire and Rim Association (TRA) in the United States and the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO) and use their guidelines in developing tire sizes’ maximum psi and maximum load levels. 
There’s a load/inflation table for every size of tire but cars and trucks all have varying weights and sizes and therefore they handle and perform uniquely. Vehicle manufacturers come up with ideal tire pressures based on factors such as how much load a car or truck puts on its left front wheel during a right turn at 60 mph, for example. Some cars and trucks wind up with different recommended pressure levels for front and rear tires, even on all-wheel-drive vehicles. 
Through rigorous testing, the vehicle’s recommended tire pressure is determined, with the idea of balancing considerations of performance, fuel efficiency, safety, and overall longevity. 
Inflation pressure affects every aspect of the tire, including the load carrying capacity, tread contact patch shape (where the tire touches the road), and handling characteristics.” 
If a tire is underinflated, more heat is generated inside of it and this could cause structural damage. An underinflated tire also cannot absorb shock as well, making it more vulnerable to road hazards such as potholes. What’s more, the tire’s contact patch—where the rubber meets the road—will not be its correct shape. This puts more wear on the tire’s shoulders, those rounded parts of the tire between the sidewall and the tread, causing uneven wear and loss of efficiency. Ultimately, the tire will likely have less grip if underinflated. 
An overinflated tire can have less grip too. This can affect handling since the overinflated tire is not correctly absorbing impacts causing more force to be sent to the vehicle’s suspension. Over inflation also makes the tires’ tread footprint smaller, which can increase wear on the center of the tread. 
The key to maintaining proper tire pressure is checking psi levels at least once a month, according to the tire companies we talked to as well as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). But who actually does that? Not many people. NHTSA estimates that only 19% of consumers properly check and inflate their tires, even though tires tend to deflate by about 1 psi a month. About a quarter of all cars have at least one tire which is significantly underinflated so choose safety and performance and check your tire pressures once a month.

HOW TO MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS You likely fall into the majority of people in the world that have some sort of social media profile… According to data, as of 2017, 81 percent of people in the United States alone has a social media profile. Studies also show that teens alone spend 30 percent of the nine hours spent each day online on social platforms. So, it is no mystery that social media campaigns play a vital role in the overall marketing strategy of most companies. Going social is perhaps one of the most effective routes to connecting with your audience. And, quite possibly, the best thing that can happen to your business – simply create and deliver an effective business message and you can instantly have access to millions of visitors. But, just because you share a blog post on your Facebook page or upload a picture on Instagram, does not necessarily mean you are getting the point across. So, how do you accurately measure if a social

Creating the Ideal Home Page In the many visits to a website, a home page creates the first impression. It immediately begins to tell a story and allows for the creation of a connection with visitors. A home page needs to be welcoming, professional looking, building trust, answering questions, and providing clear direction. Ok so what’s the problem? You haven’t defined anything yet. You can’t just jump to design without first thinking through your story, the answers you need to provide, your ability to build trust, and the manner in which you need to provide direction. Defining and designing your home page is the most important thing you can do in website development. Don’t jump in and rush ahead in a hurry to execute. Executing without properly planning will produce negative results. It will fail to produce what you want and it will create a negative first impression that you cannot eliminate. Start with a clean slate, a formal process, and a solid plan. Don’t just ju
