Does Uneven Tire Pressure Affect a Car?
1 Answers
Uneven tire pressure in a car is dangerous. Insufficient tire pressure or uneven pressure between the left and right tires can lead to poor braking performance, loss of control, difficulty or heaviness in steering, while also reducing tire lifespan and increasing the risk of blowouts and fuel consumption. These issues become more severe under heavy loads. Below is more information about car tire pressure: 1. The tire pressure for all four tires does not need to be identical. Generally, the front tires should have slightly higher pressure than the rear tires because most modern family cars are front-wheel drive, placing more weight on the front wheels. 2. If there is a significant difference in pressure between the two sides of the tires, immediate adjustments must be made. For normal vehicle operation, it is recommended that the difference in tire pressure between the left and right sides should not exceed 0.2 bar, with 0.1 bar being the optimal range.
