Can I still drive with a tire pressure of 168?
1 Answers
Tire pressure of 168 is not recommended for continued driving. Since a reading of 168 is significantly below the normal range, you should promptly find a safe place to stop the vehicle and inflate the tires to around 250. Normal tire pressure range: The manufacturer's recommended tire pressure is generally between 2.2-2.5. This recommended value can usually be found in the vehicle's user manual or near the door (B-pillar or C-pillar). Hazards of low tire pressure: The most serious consequence of low tire pressure is a blowout. Similarly, excessively high tire pressure can also cause a blowout. However, low tire pressure is often difficult to detect unless intentionally checked. Driving for extended periods with low tire pressure can cause significant damage to the tires and, in severe cases, endanger the safety of the driver and passengers.
