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 visit a professional auto repair shop for inspection. Below are the hazards of driving with low tire pressure: Accelerates Rubber Aging: Low pressure increases tire body deformation, leading to cracks on the sidewalls and excessive flexing movements, which generate overheating and accelerate rubber aging. Accelerates Shoulder Wear: It causes fatigue in the cord layers, breaking the cords, and increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. Impact on Vehicle Performance: Strictly speaking, it refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In vehicle maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car—engine damage can exhaust the car's lifespan. Similarly, tire pressure is the car's blood pressure; the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power.
