What does right rear tire pressure loss mean?
2 Answers
Right rear tire pressure loss means the tire pressure of the right rear tire is abnormal and requires calibration. Low tire pressure: It increases tire body deformation, easily causing cracks on the tire side while generating flexing movement, leading to excessive heat that accelerates rubber aging, fatigue of the cord ply, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. High tire pressure: It causes excessive stretching deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving. In case of impact, it may lead to internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, excessive pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.
Tire pressure loss indicates that the air pressure in the right rear tire is below the normal value. Possible causes include a puncture from a nail, slow leakage due to a worn valve core, or sometimes air escaping due to poor wheel rim sealing. When driving under such conditions, you may feel the car pulling to one side, unstable handling during turns, and increased fuel consumption. I've encountered a similar issue before: once on the highway, the right rear tire went flat, causing the car to tilt to the right and making it difficult to control. I had to pull over immediately to check. In such cases, you should stop immediately to inspect the tire's appearance and use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure. If it's too low, find a repair shop to patch the tire or refill it. For prevention, it's advisable to always carry a simple tire pressure gauge and check the pressure monthly to ensure it's within the standard range, which can help avoid the risk of a blowout.
