What is the minimum tire pressure for safe driving?

[DeSophia]

Tire pressure below 1.7 bar is unsafe for driving. Vehicles are typically equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems that trigger an alert when tire pressure falls below 1.8 bar. This threshold is also applicable to tires without pressure sensors, and it's recommended not to go below this value. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and potential alignment issues, compromising driving safety; Excessive movement of tire components results in abnormal heat generation from over-compression; Degrades the functionality of cords and rubber, potentially causing delamination or cord breakage, along with excessive friction against the rim leading to bead area damage and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction between tire and road, causing rapid temperature rise, tire softening, and drastic strength reduction - potentially leading to blowouts during high-speed driving; Increases tire body deformation, making sidewalls prone to cracking while generating excessive heat from flexing, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and tread shoulder wear.
