Can You Drive Normally with Abnormal Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
It is not advisable to drive normally with abnormal tire pressure; immediate inspection and repair should be conducted. When tire pressure is abnormal, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light on the vehicle will illuminate, alerting the driver to a potential issue with the tire pressure system. At this point, the vehicle's performance may degrade, and driving safety could be compromised. Excessively high tire pressure accelerates wear on the central tread, shortening the tire's lifespan, and negatively impacts ride comfort as well as the longevity of other components. Additionally, overinflated tires reduce puncture resistance, making them more susceptible to sharp objects, which can lead to blowouts.
