Where to Check Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
If the vehicle is equipped with a built-in tire pressure monitoring system, the tire pressure can be viewed on the car's dashboard. For vehicles without this feature, there will be a tire pressure warning. Typically, the standard tire pressure can be found in the user manual, on the driver's door (next to the car's B-pillar), or on the fuel tank cap. Below are the hazards of overinflated or underinflated tires: 1. Overinflated Tires: 1. Increases friction between the tire and the ground, reducing tire grip and affecting braking performance and driving comfort. 2. Accelerates wear on the central tread of the tire, reducing its lifespan. 3. Increases body vibration, affecting other car components; increases tire wear and decreases elasticity. 4. Accelerates tire aging, reduces wear resistance, and increases the risk of blowouts. 2. Underinflated Tires: 1. Increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. Makes the steering wheel heavier, affecting driving. 3. Tires are prone to overheating, increasing the risk of blowouts. 4. Expands the tire body, making it more likely for cracks to appear on the inner and outer sides, accelerating rubber aging and tire wear.
