Is 200kpa tire pressure normal?
1 Answers
Car tire pressure at 200kpa is not normal at this time. It is best not to continue driving. When driving with insufficient tire pressure, the most obvious effect is increased fuel consumption, because low tire pressure increases the contact area between the car tire and the ground, resulting in greater friction and increased driving resistance, leading to higher car fuel consumption. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; Reduces puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts, leading to tire bursts. Methods for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to normal tire pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found during inspection, drive to a tire shop promptly for repair and then reinflate; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check and replace the wheel rim.
