What to Do When the Tire High Pressure Warning Light Comes On?
2 Answers
Tire pressure too high alarm treatment method is: release some air from the tire. The reasons for high tire pressure are: 1. Hot weather: Overly hot weather causes gas expansion leading to high tire pressure. 2. Over-inflation: Tires being over-inflated results in high pressure. 3. Component aging and wear: Aging and wear of suspension components related to wheels cause inaccurate tire alignment, uneven wear, increased temperature, and higher tire pressure. 4. Excessive tire pressure: Prolonged operation generates friction heat, leading to high tire pressure. This accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing tire lifespan.
I remember once during a long trip, the high tire pressure warning light suddenly came on, and I panicked a bit but immediately slowed down and pulled over. The reason might have been accidentally overinflating during filling or the pressure increasing due to rising temperatures. The small tire pressure gauge in my car came in handy—after measuring, I released the excess air to bring the pressure back to the standard value recommended on the door label. Not only is high tire pressure annoying with the alarm, but more dangerously, it increases the risk of a blowout and accelerates tire wear. Since then, I've made it a habit to check the tire pressure every two weeks and always carry tools in the car to avoid similar issues.
