What are the effects of excessive tire pressure on a vehicle?
1 Answers
Excessive tire pressure has the following effects on a vehicle: Reduces driving comfort: When tire pressure is too high, the tires become overly stiff, significantly reducing driving comfort during travel; Compromises driving safety and poses hidden risks: Excessively high tire pressure increases body vibration, reduces the contact area between the tires and the road surface, greatly diminishes tire friction, and affects braking performance. This is particularly dangerous on slippery roads, increasing the risk of accidents; Causes deformation of tire cords: Overly high tire pressure leads to excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks upon impact and leading to a blowout.
