Can excessive vehicle load affect the correct functioning of the tyres?
Mechanics (different vehicle systems)
Explanation
The **excessive load of the vehicle** can negatively affect the functioning of the tires. When the **permitted load limit** is exceeded, the tires may wear out more quickly due to the additional weight they must support. This is because the excess load increases the pressure on the tires, which can lead to uneven wear and a higher risk of damage.
- **Tire wear**: Carrying a lot of load in the vehicle is one of the causes that accelerates tire wear.
- **Inflation pressure**: It is important to check that the tires are properly inflated, especially if the vehicle is going to be heavily loaded. Incorrect pressure can cause the tire to heat up, deform, and wear out prematurely.
Therefore, it is crucial not to exceed the permitted load limits to ensure the proper functioning and durability of the tires.
