What can accelerate tyre wear?
Mechanics (different vehicle systems)
Explanation
Driving with **low pressure** in the tires can accelerate their wear for several reasons:
- **Heating and deformation:** When the inflation pressure is lower than recommended, the tire tends to heat up and deform more easily. This causes it to wear out faster.
- **Increased friction:** A tire with low pressure has more contact surface with the road, which increases friction and, consequently, wear.
- **Risk of blowout:** Low pressure increases the possibility of the tire blowing out, which is not only dangerous but also contributes to premature wear.
For these reasons, it is crucial to maintain tire pressure at the recommended level to avoid accelerated wear and ensure safety while driving.
