Can I still drive a short distance with a tire pressure of 196 kPa?
1 Answers
It is not advisable to continue driving with a tire pressure of 196 kPa. It is recommended to inflate the tires as soon as possible. Tire Pressure: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and damage to the engine will lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is like the blood pressure of the car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, causing abnormal temperature rise inside the tire during driving. At the same time, severe deformation of the tire side accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, increasing the risk of a blowout. Additionally, it leads to higher fuel consumption and reduces the lifespan of the tire.
