Can You Still Drive with Insufficient Pressure in the Left Rear Tire?
1 Answers
If the left rear tire has insufficient pressure, it is recommended not to continue driving. Continuing to drive with low tire pressure is very dangerous, so for safety reasons, it is best to stop immediately. Insufficient tire pressure can cause the following hazards to the tire tread: It increases the contact area between the tire tread and the road surface, leading to higher driving resistance and increased fuel consumption. Insufficient tire pressure also causes severe wear on both sides of the tire, which are the most vulnerable parts of the tire. Due to the increased friction coefficient caused by low tire pressure, the tire may overheat abnormally, leading to a rapid rise in temperature, softening of the tire, reduced strength, and an increased risk of a blowout. Emergency measures for insufficient tire pressure: If the pressure is insufficient, you can drive at low speeds but not at high speeds. Visually inspect whether the tire can still be driven on. If possible, drive to the nearest tire repair shop for assistance. If the tire pressure is too low to continue driving, use a car air pump to inflate the tire slightly and then proceed to the nearest repair shop. Alternatively, replace the tire with the spare and go for repairs.
