Can You Drive with Underinflated Car Tires?

[JaylaRose]

You should not drive with underinflated car tires. The hazards of driving with underinflated tires include: 1. Causing the steering wheel to become heavy and prone to deviation, which is detrimental to driving safety; 2. Increasing the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; 3. Reducing the performance of the cords and rubber, causing cord breakage, delamination between the cords and the rim, or excessive friction, resulting in bead damage and abnormal wear; 4. Increasing friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and reducing its strength, which may lead to tire blowouts. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly cleaning stones from the tire treads; 2. Reducing exposure of tires to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly checking front wheel alignment.
