Can an uneven surface ruin your cars tires or lower the psi?
Just wondering could an uneven surface ruin or lower the psi of your tires? Such as going through cracks on the road, bumps, rocks, or cracks on a driveway where you park the whole day lower the psi of your tires?|||yes|||The air can become denser this is an effect of temperature. Set your tires at 40 psi you should be ok. Now if there's a tire that seems low all the time this might be caused by a small leak|||I doubt that any surface variance would lower the PSI. The only things that really affects PSI are things like temperature and leakage over time mostly due to the valves. Some people fill their tires with Nitrogen because they believe it maintains a more consistent PSI value and is less prone to temp changes.|||Both can ruin your tires, but low PSI is the worse offender.|||Definitely especially if you hit the bump really hard it will probably lower it and sometimes pop it.|||yes it can ruin your tires because it forcse the tires to ride unevenly|||yeah. its puting weird pressure on them, if you dont want them to pop lower the pressure your self.|||No it cannot lower the psi of your tire. Unless you were to hit a curb or a chuck hole hard enough to break the bead of the tire from the rim. Then it would go flat immediately. You have a lower psi when your tires are cold. As you drive the tires get hot and the air expands. That increases the psi. Other than that you have a leak. Tires and rims are designed to hold air in a chamber so as not to go flat. If it is losing air something is amiss.
