Can You Still Drive with 1.7bar Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
Tire pressure of 1.7bar is too low to continue driving. Excessively low tire pressure can cause severe deformation of the tire sidewall, damage the cord layer, and lead to a tire blowout. 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 unfavorable factors for driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, sharply increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may cause a tire blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire sidewall prone to cracks, and generates flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, cord layer fatigue, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to normal tire pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found during inspection, drive to a tire shop promptly for repair, then reinflate; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by rim deformation. It is recommended to check the rim and replace it if necessary.
