Why you shouldn't wait to fill up your tires

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:51:28 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — It's that time of year when low tire pressure lights start to turn on and warn motorists that cold temperatures are coming and it's time to winterize your vehicle.It's fundamental physics. Air molecules move slower as energy decreases with ambient temperatures, and as a result, the air pressure in tires significantly drops. Why do tires deflate in cold weather? It’s physics AAA Regional Director Skyler McKinley said motorists should not wait to fill up their tires for the season, as low tire pressure can become a safety hazard and affect drivability and even fuel efficiency."If that warning light comes on, that is your warning system saying, 'Hey, these tires are severely underinflated,'" McKinley said. "They really are sort of the last line of defense to get you to fill up your tires."Low air pressure is dangerousBecause those warning lights are a safety feature, McKinley said drivers should resolve the issue as soon as possible, ideally staying on top of it befor...

Putin accuses Olympic Games organizers of ‘ethnic discrimination’

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:51:28 GMT

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday accused the International Olympic Committee (IOC) of using the Olympic Games as a form of “ethnic discrimination.”“The games themselves can be used as an instrument of political pressure against people who have nothing to do with politics,” Putin said, according to Russian state-run news outlet TASS. “And as a gross and in fact racist, ethnic discrimination.”Last week, the IOC banned the Russian Olympic Committee for breaching the Olympic Charter after it claimed regional sports organizations in occupied areas of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia — which should be under the authority of Ukraine’s National Olympic Committee — as members.Participation of Russian athletes in international sporting events has sparked heated debate since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
