What Causes Low Tire Pressure Warning in Cars?

[Alana]

Reasons for low tire pressure warning in cars: Tire damage: When a car tire is damaged, it will inevitably lead to air leakage, resulting in decreased tire pressure over time. It is crucial to promptly repair or replace a damaged tire to prevent potential safety hazards. Slow air leakage: There are various reasons for slow air leakage in car tires, including natural aging of the tire or prolonged vehicle inactivity. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and tendencies to drift, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim leading to damage and abnormal wear at the bead area; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may result in a tire blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracking, and induces flexing movements that lead to overheating, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue in the cord fabric, and cord breakage. It also enlarges the tire's contact area with the ground, hastening wear at the tire shoulders.
