Can You Still Drive When the Car Indicates Low Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
When the car indicates low tire pressure, you should not continue driving and must take it to a professional auto repair shop for inspection. Below are the hazards of driving with low tire pressure: 1. Accelerates rubber aging: Insufficient pressure increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the sidewalls and excessive flexing, which generates heat and speeds up rubber degradation. 2. Accelerates shoulder wear: It causes fatigue in the cord layers, breaks the cords, and increases the tire's contact area, leading to faster shoulder wear. 3. Impacts vehicle performance: Strictly speaking, it refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car—its failure means the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is like the car's blood pressure, and its level plays a crucial role in the vehicle's performance and power.
