Will Insufficient Tire Pressure Cause Vibration?
1 Answers
Tire pressure being insufficient can indeed cause vibration, with the following explanations: 1. Low pressure: Pressure is the lifeline of a tire; both excessive and insufficient pressure can shorten its lifespan. Uneven tire pressure can make the car vibrate or even cause it to veer. Insufficient pressure increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating flexing movements, leading to excessive heat buildup, accelerating rubber aging, and causing fatigue or breakage in the cord layers. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. 2. High pressure: Excessive pressure overstretches the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving. This can lead to internal cracks or blowouts upon impact, while also accelerating tread wear and reducing puncture resistance.
