Can You Still Drive with Tire Pressure at 2.0?
1 Answers
Vehicle tire pressure at 2.0 is slightly lower than the normal range, so you should not continue driving the car. The following explains the hazards of both high and low tire pressure: 1. High tire pressure: When the tire pressure is too high, although the rolling resistance of the tire decreases, making the car more fuel-efficient, excessively high tire pressure reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to poorer grip and longer braking distances, which affects driving safety. 2. Low tire pressure: When the tire pressure is too low, although it can improve the tire's grip, it causes a large portion of the tire's sides to come into contact with the ground while driving, increasing fuel consumption. Prolonged friction over a large area can easily raise the internal temperature of the tire, causing the gas to expand. Additionally, it can lead to excessive wear in certain parts of the tire, shortening its lifespan, and may also cause the sidewalls to bend and break, resulting in a blowout accident.
