I read somewhere that under inflated tires consume more gas per mile which makes perfect sense. However, it also mentions that under inflated tires reduces the braking/stopping power of a car as well as reduces ease of control.
In my mind, if you have under inflated tires, the amount of grip that the tire has on the road should increase right? After all, there is more surface area of the tire on the road which leads to more friction and better braking power combined with lower fuel efficiency.
Is the article wrong or am I thinking about this in an incorrect way?
