Is it necessary to check tire pressure?

It is necessary to check tire pressure as it helps detect abnormal changes in tire pressure and temperature, allowing you to take appropriate measures to ensure driving safety. The functions of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. Preventing accidents; 2. Extending tire lifespan; 3. Making driving more economical; 4. Reducing wear on the suspension system. The principles of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed inside the tires to measure air pressure and transmit the data wirelessly from the tire to a central receiver module, which displays the pressure readings for each tire; 2. Indirect tire pressure monitoring detects when tire pressure drops by observing changes in the rolling radius due to the vehicle's weight, comparing rotational speed differences between tires to monitor tire pressure.
I've been driving for over a decade, and checking tire pressure is absolutely a habit that can't be ignored. Incorrect tire pressure, such as being too low, increases fuel consumption and tread wear, making tire replacement more costly; while overinflation can lead to skidding or blowouts, especially dangerous at highway speeds. When I was younger and lazy about checking, I once took a long trip with insufficient pressure – the car noticeably bumped and struggled, costing me extra in fuel. Now I check every two weeks with a basic tire gauge, taking just seconds for much greater safety. Regular pressure checks extend tire life, improve driving stability and fuel efficiency, saving both hassle and money. Developing this simple habit prevents major accidents and shows responsibility for family safety.
