What does it mean to check tire pressure?

[DiOwen]

The 'check tire pressure' warning on the car dashboard indicates a tire pressure alarm, meaning one or more tires have insufficient or excessive air pressure. Here are measures to prevent tire blowouts: 1. Aged tire materials are prone to cracking. Drivers should regularly inspect tires for damage or bulges, developing the habit of tire checks to ensure safe driving. 2. Avoid splashing cold water to cool tires in summer, as rapid cooling may cause cracks. 3. Low tire pressure increases friction with the road surface, raises fuel consumption, makes steering heavy, and may cause veering - all detrimental to driving safety. High tire pressure lengthens braking distance, reduces tire grip, accelerates wear on central tread patterns, and shortens tire lifespan. Maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial for preventing blowouts. 4. Try to avoid potholed roads as severe impacts can damage both tires and wheel rims.
