What to Do When Tire Pressure is Too High?
1 Answers
Tire pressure can become too high due to over-inflation, inaccurate four-wheel alignment, or excessive tire deflection. Below is a detailed explanation of the causes of high tire pressure: Over-inflation: Over-inflation leads to excessively high tire pressure. To address this, release some air. If you have a dial-type tire pressure gauge, unscrew the cap of the tire valve, locate the center of the valve stem, and press lightly. While referencing the tire pressure gauge, press the air release valve to let out air. Monitor the gauge until the tire pressure returns to normal. Inaccurate four-wheel alignment: Incorrect four-wheel alignment can cause uneven tire wear, leading to increased temperature and higher tire pressure. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for repairs. Excessive tire deflection: Excessive tire deflection results in increased tire wear and higher temperatures, thereby raising tire pressure. The deflected tire can be repositioned and secured properly.
