Why is the tire pressure always lower than others after repairing the Verano tire?
2 Answers
If the tire pressure of the Verano is always lower than others after repair, you can try replacing the valve stem. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, you can directly inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If the tire is found to be punctured during inspection, drive to a tire shop promptly for repair and then reinflate. If the tire pressure warning appears again after inflation but there is no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect the wheel rim and replace it if necessary. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes heavy steering and potential alignment issues, affecting driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heat generation due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the tire cords and rubber, potentially causing delamination or cord breakage, as well as excessive friction between the tire and rim, resulting in damage and abnormal wear at the bead area.
As a car owner who often maintains my own vehicle, I've encountered situations where tire pressure remains low after a repair, usually due to incomplete patching or hidden damage. For example, that time when my car's tire still leaked air after being repaired, the issue was either poor seal at the patch location or a deformed rim from impact, causing air to slowly seep out. Additionally, if the valve stem is aged or loose, it can cause pressure to drop faster than other tires. I recommend first checking the quality of the patch by applying soapy water to the tire to see if bubbles form, which can help locate the leak. If that doesn't work, there might be internal tire damage or improper tightening during installation. Don't ignore the tire pressure monitoring system; regularly using a tire pressure gauge to measure pressure differences between tires can help detect major issues early. Safety first—visit a professional shop as soon as possible to avoid the risk of a high-speed blowout.
