Driving with low tire pressure is not advisable. The solutions are: 1. If the tire leak is not severe, you can drive the vehicle to the nearest tire repair shop for servicing; 2. If the tire pressure is too low to continue driving, use a portable air pump to inflate the tire first, then drive slowly to the nearest repair shop, or switch to the spare tire before heading for repairs. The hazards of driving with low tire pressure include: 1. Increased fuel consumption; 2. Accelerated tire wear; 3. Increased risk of a blowout; 4. Excessive vehicle vibration; 5. Reduced braking performance.
