Can You Drive with Low Rear Tire Pressure?

[OCole]

Tire pressure that is too low makes driving unsafe. Continuing to drive with low tire pressure will cause excessive internal wear, and even a brand-new tire can quickly become worn out and unusable. It is best to replace it with the spare tire before driving and then go to a repair shop to fix the punctured tire. Therefore, when tire pressure is low, switch to the spare tire before driving. Alternatively, keep a portable car air pump on hand, which can be used to inflate the tire when pressure is low. Once properly inflated, you can drive normally. A portable car air pump typically costs around 200 yuan and draws power from the cigarette lighter or battery, making it a very practical tool. Checking Tires: To avoid insufficient tire pressure while driving, pay close attention to your tires during regular use. If tire pressure drops unexpectedly, inspect the tire for punctures or embedded nails. If a puncture is found, repair it promptly or replace the tire entirely. Additionally, if the tire sidewall is damaged, it is generally not recommended to repair it; instead, replace it with a new tire. Regular Cleaning: If you frequently drive on roads with many small stones, they often get lodged in the tire treads. It is best to develop a habit of regularly cleaning your tires in daily life. If the vehicle has been parked for an extended period without use, check the tire pressure before driving again to ensure it is adequate. Avoid developing poor driving habits, such as parking on roadside stones, as this can damage the tire sidewalls.
