Greetings. high pressure inflated tires are inflated at a high pressure that makes them hard as rock and allows them to roll easier thus giving more speed for the same amount of power applied. But this has a big trade off. high pressure tires are hard as rock and have no or very little give to them. so a ride in a vehicle with high pressure tires is like riding in a wagon with no springs. very jolting. low pressure tires are inflated at a much lower pressure and are fairly soft. lean on a vehicle with low pressure tires and you will note that the side of the tire bulges a little. the tire is absorbing the difference in weight applied. this gives a little less speed, which is not really important anyway since all cars made now are more then capable of going fast enough to get your drivers license taken away for life, and the low pressure tire absorbs a lot of the shock of imperfections in the road, rocks, twigs and litter that ends up on the road surface. With high inflation tires you need totally to replace the shocks and springs on your vehicle to ones designed to give that shock absorption that the tires used to perform, but due to high pressure and lack of give no longer can. If you want the harsh ride of a sportscar in a family car, put on high pressure tires and you will have it.

high inflated tire doesn't grab the road it goes over the road. so that doesn't gave you a smooth ride instead is gave you a hard and harsh ride but it goes or take off fast because is over the road and Low inflated tire are very low which mean like hugging the road or leaning to it and can't let go and that wear the tire and affect your gas mileage. so keep you tire pressure to the same amount your owner Manuel said and that can be save than too much high pressure or low pressure.

A tyre that is inflated above its normal recommended pressure could explode and cause injuries or even fatalities on the other hand, a tyre with a very low pressure will wear out faster, slow down the vehicle and waste a lot of fuel. It is always good to have the correct tyre pressure.

You can measure the pressure with a pressure gauge. If you don't have one you can probably borrow one from a service station.

one takes high air pressure, and the other does not.

High preasure harder ride less grip, softer more grip softer ride.
