Car enthusiasts periodically face such a problem as a drop in tire pressure. This can reduce the stability of the vehicle and lead to unpleasant consequences along the way. To prevent this from happening, first of all, you need to find out the reasons and figure out why the wheel is deflating.
There are several reasons for a sudden drop in tire pressure. One of them is cracks in the valve. This malfunction may be due to the fact that the valve is inserted into the disc before the wheel is inflated with compressed air. This leads to cracks on the valve, and, as a result, to a flat tire. Another reason for the pressure drop lies in the deformation of the car disc. Severe damage can completely deflate a wheel in a very short time. If the deformation is not so significant, the tire can last for several more hours. Also, the cause of the wheel descent is an error during installation, in which a car service worker could put a certain amount of dirt on the disc, which violates the tightness of the structure. Old, worn tires can also be a reason for a drop in tire pressure. This is due to the large number of microcracks on the tires, through which air seeps out. The average tire life should be 5-7 years. A defective nipple is also a possible reason that the owner of the car loses pressure in the wheel. This can be checked by pouring water on the nipple itself and around it. In addition to the above reasons, situations of mechanical damage may arise. Since tubeless tires have become very popular among modern motorists, the possibility of damage as a result of a small cut on the road cannot be ruled out. However, the peculiarity of this design is that the pressure does not drop immediately, but gradually, which also creates certain inconveniences and problems for the driver. It is also important to take into account atmospheric phenomena, for example, frost. According to the laws of physics, any decrease in temperature also entails a decrease in pressure in the wheel. If the temperature drops by 1 degree Celsius, the tire pressure decreases by 2%. Car manufacturers recommend checking the tire pressure as often as possible, namely after the car has driven every 4-5 thousand kilometers.
