What Does Zero Tire Pressure Mean?
1 Answers
Tire pressure being zero means there is insufficient air, and it is recommended to first refill the tire with air, then use soapy water to check if the inner tube has been punctured, causing a leak. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and misalignment, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, and impacts can cause internal cracks or blowouts, leading to tire failure. Hazards of Underinflated Tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and misalignment, posing risks to driving safety; Increases movement of tire parts, causing excessive rolling and abnormal heat buildup; Weakens the function of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage and abnormal wear at the bead area; Multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
