Can the Buick Excelle still be driven with a tire pressure of 200?
1 Answers
It cannot be driven. A tire pressure of 200 kPa is considered low. The normal tire pressure for motor vehicles is between 230 kPa and 250 kPa. Tire pressure below or above the normal range will affect the vehicle's driving performance. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and increases the risk of veering off course, posing safety hazards; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the tire bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a drastic reduction in strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts; Increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracking, and generates flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
