Which part of the tire experiences increased wear due to excessive tire pressure?
1 Answers
Excessive tire pressure can be caused by overinflation, inaccurate wheel alignment, or excessive tire deflection. Below are detailed explanations of the causes of excessive tire pressure: Overinflation: Overinflation leads to excessive tire pressure. To address this, you can release air from the tire. 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 monitoring the pressure gauge, press the air release valve until the tire pressure returns to normal. Inaccurate Wheel Alignment: Inaccurate wheel alignment can cause uneven tire wear, leading to increased temperature and higher tire pressure. It is recommended to have the alignment checked and corrected at a 4S shop. Excessive Tire Deflection: Excessive tire deflection results in increased tire wear and higher temperatures, which in turn raises the tire pressure. The solution is to properly reposition the deflected tire.
