What Happens When a Tire Loses Air?
1 Answers
Due to the decrease in air pressure, the amount of tire deflection increases, leading to greater friction between the tire and the ground. This causes a sharp rise in temperature, making the tire softer. If the vehicle continues to drive under these conditions, it may result in a tire blowout. Methods to determine if a tire is underinflated include: 1. Visual Inspection: You can directly check the four tires to see if any are visibly flat. 2. Tire Pressure Display: You can also use devices to measure tire pressure, such as handheld tire pressure monitoring devices or onboard automatic tire pressure displays, to accurately measure the tire pressure. 3. Tire Pressure Monitoring: By installing a tire pressure monitoring system, you can monitor the tire pressure in real-time.
