What are the hazards of low tire pressure in motor vehicles?
1 Answers
The hazards of low tire pressure in motor vehicles are as follows: The friction and adhesion of the tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; it can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; it accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening the tire's lifespan; the vibration of the vehicle body increases, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; it causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving; puncture resistance decreases. When encountering sharp objects such as nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, and the impact can cause internal cracks and bursts, leading to a blowout. Precautions for tire inflation are as follows: Always use a pressure gauge to check the pressure to avoid overinflation, which can cause the tire to burst. After stopping, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as the tire temperature rises during driving, affecting the pressure. Check the valve stem. If the valve stem and core are not properly aligned, have protruding or recessed areas, or other defects, it will be difficult to inflate and measure the pressure.
