What does 'Low Tire Pressure, Please Inflate' mean?
1 Answers
'Low Tire Pressure, Please Inflate' means that the car's tire pressure monitor has detected that the tire pressure is below a certain value and requires inflation. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to deviations, which are unfavorable for driving safety; Increases the movement of 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, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; The friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a rapid decrease in strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts; Increases tire body deformation, leading to cracks on the tire side and causing flexing motion, resulting in excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, cord breakage, and also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
