What Does It Mean When a Car Shows Low Tire Pressure?

[ReidLee]

Reasons for a car displaying low tire pressure: The car tire is damaged or the tire has a slow leak. Hazards of driving with low tire pressure: 1. Increased fuel consumption, as low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, resulting in greater friction and naturally higher fuel consumption; 2. Impaired handling, as low tire pressure makes the car's steering heavier, affecting the vehicle's maneuverability and making it prone to drifting; 3. Increased contact area with the ground leads to greater friction, which can cause the tire temperature to rise excessively during high-speed driving, potentially leading to a blowout; 4. Reduced tire lifespan, as low tire pressure accelerates tire wear during driving, thereby shortening the tire's service life.
