What to Do When Tire Pressure is Too Low?

[MacKimberly]

Tire pressure is too low if there is a built-in simple inflation device or tire pressure gauge, you can pull over to the roadside and measure and inflate each tire. If not, you can drive slowly to the nearest car repair shop or 4S store. Hazards of low tire pressure: The friction coefficient with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; factors such as easy deviation that are unfavorable to driving safety; the movement of each part of the tire increases, and excessive rolling causes abnormal heating of the tire; the function of the cord and rubber is reduced, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causes damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; The friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, the tire temperature rises sharply, the tire becomes soft, and the strength drops sharply. High-speed driving may cause a tire blowout; the deformation of the tire body increases, cracks are prone to appear on the sidewall, and at the same time, flexing motion occurs, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, cord breakage, and also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
