Can You Still Drive After the Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On?
1 Answers
You should not drive after the tire pressure warning light comes on. The purpose of the tire pressure warning is to automatically alert and display the tire status when there is air leakage, excessive or insufficient tire pressure, or excessively high temperature, ensuring driving safety. The normal range for car tire pressure is between 2.2 and 2.8 bar. The hazards of excessive tire pressure include: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerating uneven wear of the central tread pattern, leading to tire bulging and stone trapping; 4. Overstretching and deforming the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity, increasing the load on the car while driving, and decreasing puncture resistance.
