At what tire pressure will the alarm be triggered?
1 Answers
The tire pressure alarm will be triggered when the pressure falls below 1.5bar. Here's a detailed explanation of why the alarm activates below 1.5bar: 1. Insufficient pressure increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracking. It also causes excessive flexing movement, leading to overheating that accelerates rubber aging, ply fatigue, and cord breakage. Additionally, low pressure increases the tire's contact area with the road, accelerating shoulder wear. 2. Excessive pressure overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity. This increases the load on the tire during driving, making it susceptible to internal cracks or blowouts upon impact. Overinflation also accelerates tread wear and reduces resistance to punctures.
