What does pressure loss mean, does it affect driving?
1 Answers
Automotive pressure loss refers to abnormal tire pressure. Generally, the tire pressure monitoring system will only alert the driver when the tire pressure drops to the minimum pressure limit. However, if there is no inflation equipment available, the vehicle can still be driven to the nearest repair shop or 4S store for inflation. Tire Pressure Monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring can currently be divided into two main types: direct and indirect. Regardless of the type, the tire pressure monitoring system presents the tire pressure in specific numbers or states to the driver through the combination meter. It also alerts the driver when the tire pressure is too high or too low, or when the tire temperature is too high. Impact of Tire Pressure on Vehicle Driving: If the tire pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire tread and the ground decreases, which affects braking performance. It can also cause abnormal bumps during driving, reducing ride comfort. Additionally, the wear on the tire tread will be abnormally concentrated in the middle. If the tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire tread and the ground increases, leading to higher rolling resistance, which increases fuel consumption. The wear on the tire tread will also be abnormally concentrated on both sides. In severe cases, it can cause the tire to develop standing waves, directly leading to the risk of a tire blowout.
