Is it safe to drive with a tire pressure of 1.6?
1 Answers
It is not safe to drive. A tire pressure of 1.6 is relatively low for vehicle tires. Driving under such conditions can cause certain wear to the tires. The normal tire pressure range should be between 2.3 and 2.5, and only tires within this range can be used normally. The hazards of low tire pressure are as follows: Increased fuel consumption: When the tire pressure is too low, the most obvious phenomenon is an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption. This is because low tire pressure increases the friction between the tires and the ground, leading to higher rolling resistance, which in turn causes the vehicle to consume more fuel. Tire blowout: At the same time, the amount of movement in the tire will also increase. The increased friction will raise the temperature of the tire, making it softer and reducing its strength. If driving at high speeds for an extended period, it may even lead to a tire blowout, posing a threat to driving safety.
