Can You Drive with Tire Pressure Below 200?

[LeOscar]

Tire pressure below 200 kPa should not be driven on. 200 kPa is equivalent to 2.0 bar. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. 2.0 bar is below the minimum standard tire pressure, so it is abnormal. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and easy deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heating of the tire; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a sharp drop in strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracks, and generates flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, cord fatigue, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
