Is it serious if one tire has high pressure?
1 Answers
High tire pressure can affect vehicle performance, tire lifespan, and even driving safety. When tire pressure is too high, it's necessary to release some air. If you have a dial-type tire pressure gauge, you can unscrew the tire valve cap, locate the center of the valve stem and press lightly, then press the air release valve while monitoring the gauge until the tire pressure returns to normal. Effects of excessive tire pressure: 1. Increases tire rigidity: This reduces tire deformation and contact area with the ground, easily accelerating wear on the center of the tread and shortening tire lifespan; 2. Makes tires too hard: Affects ride comfort; 3. Reduces puncture resistance: Makes tires more prone to blowouts when encountering sharp objects.
