What to Do When a Car Tire Loses Air?
1 Answers
When a car tire loses air, the solution is to pull over to check for leaks and replace it with the spare tire. Generally, when a tire loses air, the tire pressure warning light will activate. At this point, you should immediately turn on the hazard lights, slow down, and find a suitable place to pull over and inspect the tire. Do not continue driving, as this could lead to safety hazards. Below is an introduction to the functions of car tires: 1. Supporting Weight: They bear the entire weight of the vehicle, handle the car's load, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Cushioning Impact: They transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road to enhance the car's power, braking, and off-road capabilities. They also work with the car's suspension to cushion impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. 3. Ensuring Safety: They prevent severe vibrations and premature damage to car components, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
