Where to Inflate Car Tires with Low Pressure?
1 Answers
There are many places where you can inflate car tires with low pressure, such as car 4S shops, car washes, stores selling car tires, and places for car repairs or detailing. Randomly inflating tires or even kicking them to check the pressure is very dangerous behavior because the fatal factor for tires during operation is heat generation. For a vehicle traveling at 100 km/h, the tread temperature (the hottest part is at the tire shoulder, where the tread meets the sidewall) can reach about 70 degrees Celsius, which can easily cause burns. Hazards of low tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; The friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a drastic decrease in strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may lead to tire blowouts; Low tire pressure increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, which generate excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging.
