What are the causes of abnormal tire pressure?
2 Answers
The causes of abnormal tire pressure are: 1. Seasonal factors, where high summer temperatures cause car tire pressure to expand, while winter temperatures are lower; 2. Tire pressure contraction due to the tire itself, as tire sealing primarily relies on its own air pressure, which may slightly leak over time. Excessive tire pressure will cause excessive wear in the middle of the tread, while insufficient tire pressure will cause excessive wear on both sides of the tread, both of which can lead to premature tire failure. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In terms of maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and engine damage will lead to the end of the car's life. The tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car.
I remember one time when I was driving, the tire pressure warning suddenly went off. Later, I found out that my tire had been punctured by a nail, causing a slow leak. Another time was due to seasonal changes—during winter, the cold air and low temperatures caused a noticeable drop in tire pressure, while in summer, prolonged exposure to the sun made the tire pressure unusually high. Both scenarios are considered abnormal conditions. Tire aging, such as sidewall cracks, can also lead to air leakage, so it's essential to regularly inspect tire condition and pressure. Additionally, issues with the valve stem, like aging or loosening, can cause slow air leaks. If not addressed promptly, it can affect vehicle handling, increase fuel consumption, and even raise the risk of a blowout. I recommend keeping a tire pressure gauge handy to check yourself and developing a habit of inspecting it monthly to address any issues early.
