Can You Drive with Low Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
You should not drive with low tire pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracks and reducing the tire's elasticity. This increases the load on the vehicle while driving and can lead to internal cracks or blowouts upon impact. The recommended tire pressure monitoring range is between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. Both high and low tire pressure can affect driving safety, so it's important to promptly visit a repair shop to check and adjust tire pressure. Tools for checking tire pressure include: 1. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS); 2. Handheld tire pressure gauge; 3. Air pump with built-in pressure gauge. Steps for adjusting tire pressure: 1. Remove any debris from the tire valve stem; 2. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure; 3. Check for leaks at the valve stem and securely replace the valve cap.
