What Are the Causes of Increased Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
Tire pressure increase is mainly caused by the following reasons: 1. Over-inflation of the tire; 2. Hot weather causing gas expansion and resulting in higher pressure; 3. Prolonged operation generating heat through friction, leading to increased tire pressure. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the internal air pressure of the tire. Tire pressure is equivalent to the blood pressure of a car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Excessive tire pressure reduces the friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance and the lifespan of the tire. Over-inflation also decreases the tire's resistance to punctures, making it more prone to blowouts. It accelerates localized wear on the central tread pattern, shortening the tire's lifespan and increasing body vibration, which indirectly affects the longevity of other components. Excessive tire pressure can also cause overstretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body, increasing the load on the vehicle, and decreasing rolling resistance.
