A pressure detection device and a controller in communication with the device are used to implement a tire pressure optimization system for a vehicle. The pressure detection device detects a vehicle tire's inflation pressure. The controller is programmed to identify the vehicle as being in a warning state when the inflation pressure is below a warning low pressure threshold, identify the vehicle as being in an optimum state when the inflation pressure is within an optimum pressure range where the vehicle will exhibit optimum performance, and identify the vehicle as being in an advisory state when the inflation pressure is within an advisory pressure range where the vehicle will exhibit an undesirable performance characteristic. The advisory pressure range is outside of the optimum pressure range and above the warning low pressure threshold.
