How to Determine When Car Tires Need Inflation
1 Answers
To determine when car tires need inflation, follow these steps: Observe the tread blocks on the tire surface - these are the smallest protrusions on the tire. If the tire pressure is low, more than five tread blocks will be in contact with the ground simultaneously, indicating that the tire needs inflation. Failure to do so may lead to accelerated tire wear. Tires are typically mounted on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, absorbing road shocks, maintaining contact with the road surface, and ensuring proper driving performance. Tires operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during driving. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and shock absorption capabilities.
