What are the dangers of driving with low tire pressure?
1 Answers
The dangers of driving with low tire pressure are: 1. The friction coefficient with the road surface will increase; 2. It will cause the steering wheel to become heavy and prone to deviation, among other factors that are detrimental to driving safety; 3. It will increase the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; 4. It will reduce the functionality of the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage and abnormal wear at the bead area; 5. The friction between the tire and the ground will multiply, causing the tire temperature to rise sharply, the tire to soften, and its strength to drop drastically. High-speed driving under such conditions may lead to a tire blowout. The normal tire pressure range is between 230 to 250 kPa.
