Why Do Front Tires Look Flat Despite Having the Same Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
The vast majority of cars use tubeless tires, which have no inner tube and thinner sidewalls, resulting in softer support. This causes subtle visual changes in the tire's appearance, making some tires appear slightly flat even when the tire pressure is the same. We should not judge the condition of tires based on their appearance but rather by their tire pressure values. As long as the tire pressure is normal, there is no issue. Abnormal tire pressure generally occurs for the following three reasons: 1. Abnormal tire pressure: Typically, the system will alert if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In such cases, the tires should be inspected and the pressure adjusted. 2. Tire pressure monitoring system not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset promptly, it will continue to display the previously recorded data, causing the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. Simply resetting the tire pressure monitoring system will resolve this issue. 3. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can trigger the tire pressure warning light. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.
