Can You Drive with 40 Bar Tire Pressure?

[Jose]

Tire pressure of 40 bar is unsafe for driving. Vehicles should not be driven if the tire pressure is below 1.0 bar. Most modern vehicles are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which typically triggers an alert when the tire pressure drops below 1.5 bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort; Accelerates uneven wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks or blowouts. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to the normal pressure and reset the TPMS; If a puncture is detected, drive to a tire shop for repair and reinflation; If the low-pressure warning reappears after inflation without a puncture, it may indicate a leak due to wheel rim deformation. Inspect and replace the rim if necessary.
