4 Dangers of Driving with Low Tire Pressure
Car owners often take the little things for granted. One example is the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, or TPMS, a safety system that warns of low tire pressure in any of the four tires on a vehicle. The TPMS is standard equipment on many vehicles and for good reason. Also, it is important to regularly check the tire pressure on your car. Underinflated tires not only cost money, but they can also be downright dangerous. Here’s an important message from your Kia dealer about the dangers of underinflated tires.
Why Shouldn’t You Drive with Low Tire Pressure?
Blowouts
Underinflated tires are one of the leading causes of blowouts. When a tire’s air pressure drops below the tire’s design specifications, it causes excessive flexing in the sidewalls when cornering and braking. This can cause the tire to overheat and lead to a catastrophic failure in which the tire suddenly loses all its air pressure. If this blowout happens while you’re driving at high speeds, it can be very dangerous.
