Can an Audi still be driven with insufficient tire pressure?
1 Answers
Audi cannot be driven with insufficient tire pressure. Low tire pressure can lead to increased fuel consumption, heavier steering, and a tendency to drift. It can also cause damage and abnormal wear to the bead area, reduced tire strength, and even tire blowouts during high-speed driving. If the tire pressure is too low, it is recommended to promptly replenish the tire pressure to avoid safety hazards. Damage to the bead area: Insufficient tire pressure increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing excessive rolling that leads to abnormal heat generation. This reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, resulting in delamination or cord breakage. Excessive friction between the tire and the rim can cause damage and abnormal wear to the bead area. Can lead to tire blowouts: Insufficient tire pressure significantly increases friction between the tire and the ground and causes a sharp rise in tire temperature. The tire softens, and its strength drastically decreases. High-speed driving under these conditions can also lead to tire blowouts.
