What Causes a Decrease in Car Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
Reasons for a decrease in car tire pressure: 1. Valve stem leakage—if the valve stem is accidentally scratched, the valve core pin may slowly leak air. In such cases, it is recommended to replace the valve stem. 2. Wheel rim deformation, rust, or corrosion, which prevents a tight seal between the rim and the tire, leading to gradual air leakage during use. Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, causing excessive deformation and overheating during use. This can eventually lead to tire casing rupture, compromising driving safety and resulting in understeering of the vehicle.
