Can You Drive with 195kpa Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
Tire pressure of 195kpa is not suitable for normal driving. The normal range for tire pressure is 230 to 250kpa, so the pressure is too low. 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 may lead to veering, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; The friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, causing the tire temperature to rise sharply, the tire to soften, and its strength to drop drastically. High-speed driving under these conditions may result in a tire blowout; Increases the deformation of the tire body, making the tire side prone to cracking, and generates flexing movement, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, cord breakage, and also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
