Is it safe to drive with a tire pressure of 200kpa?
1 Answers
A tire pressure of 200kpa is considered too low, and long-distance driving may damage the tires. It is recommended to inflate them before continuing to drive. Hazards of low tire pressure: The friction coefficient between the tires and the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption. The friction between the tires and the ground multiplies, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tires, and drastically reducing their strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may lead to a tire blowout. Low tire pressure increases tire deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat generation. This accelerates rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and breakage of the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. Low tire pressure makes the steering wheel heavier, causes the vehicle to drift, reduces handling performance, and increases tire noise. Method for inflating tires: Turn on the power switch, and the LED light will illuminate, indicating the air pump is in standby mode. Use the plus and minus keys to preset the desired tire pressure. The set value will be displayed on the LCD screen. Secure the inflation valve, pull out the air hose, attach the top clamp to the valve, and press the clamp lock. Press the switch to start inflating; the air pump will begin working, and you can press the lock button at any time to stop inflation. If the preset pressure exceeds 40PSI, the air pump will stop at 40PSI. Press the lock button twice consecutively to continue inflating to the preset value.
