Dangers of excessive tyre inflation

2024-12-13

When inflating tires, one of the most important factors is to ensure the correct level of pressure in them. Insufficient and excessive tire pressure can equally negatively affect the operation of the car and the service life of the tires.

With excessive inflation, the air pressure inside the tire increases, and this increased pressure affects the inner walls of the tire. This causes the tire to become stiffer than usual, lose its performance properties and to some extent affect the overall performance of the car.

Excessive pressure in the tires makes their sidewalls and tread stiff. This reduces the grip of the tires and degrades their performance, and also causes uneven wear. When the pressure is increased above the recommended area of contact of the tire with the road actually decreases. Increased pressure leads to the fact that the central part of the tread protrudes more than the rest of the tire. This becomes a problem, since now the main grip to the road is carried out through the center of the tire, which reduces the total area of contact of the car with the road surface.

This is why overinflated tires show signs of uneven wear in the center of the tread. The center wears out faster, as it contacts the road more than the outer edges. Reducing the contact area also leads to increased fuel consumption, as the engine has to work harder to compensate for the reduced contact area.

 

Excessively inflated tires not only worsen the performance of the car, but also reduce comfort and traffic safety. Compared to properly inflated tires, excessive pressure makes driving more difficult and less stable. The side walls of the tires are designed to maintain the car and absorb bumps and road irregularities when driving.

With excessive pressure, tire sidewalls become stiffer, and instead of dampening road irregularities, they transmit vibrations and impacts directly to the vehicle's suspension. This can lead to impaired handling, increased noise levels and reduced driving comfort. In particularly serious cases, especially when using old or heavily inflated tires, it is strongly recommended to always maintain the pressure recommended by the tire manufacturer and never exceed the limit value indicated on the tire sidewall. Maintaining the recommended pressure and regular rotation of tires help to maintain their optimal performance and extend service life.

The advent of portable tire pumps has become an excellent solution for maintaining optimal pressure. Such devices combine portability and practicality. Thanks to the built-in lithium battery, tire pumps allow you to get rid of the need to connect to the power grid, so if necessary, they can be immediately used to inflate tires with insufficient pressure.

However, what to do if the tire is inflated? Many car pumps on the market do not have an air exhaust function. But the electric tire pump from TURING is equipped with a special valve for air exhaustion. If the tire is inflated, it is enough to press this valve to release excess pressure. At the same time, the device allows real-time monitoring of tire pressure using a digital display. As soon as the pressure reaches the recommended value, you can release the valve. This makes the car pump from TURING a very convenient and practical tool for car owners.
