Does Excessive Air Pressure Damage Tires?
1 Answers
Excessive air pressure can indeed damage tires. Below is an introduction to the hazards of both overinflation and underinflation, as well as factors affecting tire pressure: Hazards of improper tire pressure: Underinflation can lead to abnormal wear or internal tire damage; overinflation makes tires and rims more susceptible to deformation from impacts on uneven road surfaces, and may even cause blowouts. Therefore, regular tire pressure checks are essential. Factors affecting tire pressure: Tire pressure is influenced by seasonal changes and requires appropriate adjustments. For instance, tire pressure should be slightly lower in summer because high temperatures cause tires to heat up, and excessive pressure increases the risk of blowouts. In winter, tire pressure should be slightly higher than in summer due to thermal contraction, but it's important to note that regardless of adjustments, tire pressure must always be maintained within the manufacturer's recommended range.
