Why does the tire pressure light come on when the tires are fine?
1 Answers
Tire pressure warning light coming on when the tires appear fine indicates that the pressure in the four tires is outside the normal range. This is usually caused by slow air leakage due to a puncture or overinflated tires. It is recommended to check all four tires to see which one is low on air. If it's not obvious, drive to a repair shop to have the tire pressure checked. If a tire is found to have low pressure, it means there is a leak, and it should be repaired. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and veering, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Excessive stretching of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving; decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks or blowouts.
