How long can you drive with tire pressure below 200?
1 Answers
A tire pressure of 200 is too low, and driving long distances under such conditions can harm the tires. It's best to adjust to the normal tire pressure before driving. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening its lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends and deforms the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass, the tire is more prone to punctures, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, and potential tire bursts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases friction with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal overheating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire bursts; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating excessive heat due to flexing, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also enlarging the tire's contact area and speeding up shoulder wear.
