Is it a problem if a piece is missing from the side of the tire?
1 Answers
A missing piece from the side of the tire is indeed a problem and requires immediate replacement; otherwise, there is a risk of a tire blowout. Here are specific details about tires: 1. Effects of low tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to abnormal temperature rises inside the tire during driving. Additionally, severe deformation of the tire sidewall accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, creating a hidden risk for blowouts, while also increasing fuel consumption and reducing tire lifespan. 2. Effects of high tire pressure: High tire pressure reduces the tire's friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance. It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort. It also accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening the tire's lifespan.
