What Causes Low Tire Pressure in Audi?

[HarmonyFitz]

The reasons for low tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If inspection reveals a puncture, promptly drive to a tire shop for repair, then reinflate the tire. If the low-pressure warning reappears after inflation without any puncture, it may indicate air leakage due to wheel rim deformation. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction with the road surface leads to higher fuel consumption. Causes heavy steering and alignment issues, compromising driving safety. Excessive movement of tire components generates abnormal heat due to over-compression. Degrades the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination, cord breakage, or excessive friction with the wheel rim, resulting in bead damage and abnormal wear. Multiplied friction with the ground sharply raises tire temperature, softening the tire and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may cause a blowout. Increases tire body deformation, leading to sidewall cracks and flexing movements that generate excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage. It also enlarges the tire's contact area, hastening shoulder wear.
