Tire Pressures
The amount of air pressure in tires, critical for optimal vehicle performance and safety.
Overload
A condition where the current flowing through an electrical circuit exceeds the designed capacity, potentially causing damage or failure.
Footprint
The critical contact interface between a tire and the road surface it contacts. Also used to describe the ground uplink/downlink geographic signal area of a satellite communications system; for instance, a truck can move through multiple communication footprints on a cross-continental trip.
