Is Tire Pressure Monitoring Useful?
1 Answers
Monitoring tire pressure is highly necessary. Tires are the only components of a car that come into contact with the ground, and both driving force and braking force originate from the tires. Tire pressure monitoring helps ensure that tires are in their optimal condition. The main functions of tire pressure monitoring include: 1. Detecting air leaks in advance and preventing tire blowouts, which is crucial for driving safety. 2. Maintaining consistent pressure in all four tires to prevent the car from pulling to one side and ensuring even braking. If driving with insufficient tire pressure, a 10% drop in tire pressure below the normal value can reduce tire lifespan by 15%. 3. Reducing fuel consumption—tests show that when tire pressure is 30% below the standard value, fuel consumption increases by 10%. 4. Avoiding abnormal wear and prolonging the service life of tires.
