What to Do When the Car Shows Excessive Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
If excessive tire pressure is detected, the solution is definitely to release some air. If you are using a pointer-type tire pressure gauge, when excessive pressure is noticed, simply press the air release valve while monitoring the gauge to maintain normal tire pressure. Hazards of Excessive Tire Pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and drifting, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing load during 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 bursts. Hazards of Insufficient Tire Pressure: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to drifting, compromising driving safety; increases movement in tire components, causing abnormal heat from excessive rolling; reduces functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in tire bursts; increases tire body 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.
