Can You Drive with a Tire Pressure of 1.3?
1 Answers
Driving with a tire pressure of 1.3 is not advisable, as the tire pressure warning will activate when it drops below 1.5. Driving with insufficient tire pressure can cause excessive flexing of the tire body, leading to high heat generation. In severe cases, this can result in a tire blowout, making it extremely dangerous to continue driving under low-pressure conditions. If the tire pressure is too low, it's essential to visit a 4S shop promptly to have professionals determine the cause of the low pressure. Hazards of Overinflated or Underinflated Tires: For tires, maintaining the correct pressure is crucial—neither too high nor too low. Overinflated tires reduce the contact area with the road, leading to poor traction, which can negatively impact the vehicle's handling and driving stability. Underinflated tires, especially at high speeds, can cause wave-like deformation, shortening the tire's lifespan and increasing the risk of a blowout. Standard Tire Pressure Introduction: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar.
