Is Tire Pressure Monitoring Mandatory to Install?

[GenevieveFitz]

Tire pressure monitoring is mandatory to install. Here are the potential hazards of abnormal tire pressure: 1. Reduced braking performance: Excessive tire pressure decreases the contact area between the tire and the ground, reducing friction and increasing braking distance. 2. Increased fuel consumption: Insufficient tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, raising friction and resistance, which leads to higher fuel consumption. 3. Shortened tire lifespan: Excessive tire pressure causes over-wear in the center of the tread, while insufficient pressure leads to over-wear on both sides of the tread, both resulting in premature tire failure. 4. Tire blowouts: According to a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), tire pressure 25% below the standard value increases the risk of a blowout by 3 times, while pressure 25% above the standard value doubles the risk.
