How to Check Tire Pressure on Tires?
2 Answers
The methods to check tire pressure on tires are: 1. For vehicles equipped with built-in tire pressure monitoring systems, the tire pressure can be viewed on the car dashboard; 2. For vehicles without tire pressure monitoring, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop or repair shop to check with professional equipment. The impacts of low tire pressure include: 1. Increased contact area between the tire and the ground; 2. Heavier steering wheel, affecting driving; 3. Tires are prone to overheating, increasing the risk of blowouts; 4. Expansion of the tire body, leading to cracks on the inner and outer sides of the tire and accelerating rubber aging. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, typically installed on metal rims. They support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance.
Checking tire pressure is actually quite simple, and I often do it myself when driving. Just buy a tire pressure gauge, a small device that you plug into the tire valve and press to get a reading. Remember to check when the tires are cold, like after the car has been parked overnight, for accurate results. Look for the recommended values on your vehicle, usually found on a sticker on the driver's door pillar or in the user manual, with units in PSI or kPa. Some newer cars have a tire pressure monitoring system that alerts you via a dashboard light, but it's best to manually verify it. Incorrect tire pressure can be unsafe: too low and the tire may deform or even burst, too high and grip deteriorates. I recommend checking once a month, especially before long trips, and don’t forget the spare tire. Maintaining the right pressure also saves fuel and extends tire life. From personal experience, a digital tire pressure gauge is more accurate, costs around 20 bucks, and is both convenient and practical.
