Why are tires flat in winter?

Car tires always burst in winter, which may be caused by cold weather, so the tire pressure becomes lower, which may lead to air leakage, or it may be punctured by sharp objects.

The tire pressure of a car is very important to tires. Tire pressure should not be too high or too low. Too high or too low will cause damage to tires.

The tire is flat in winter, partly because of the characteristics of gas expanding with heat and contracting with cold, which leads to insufficient tire pressure in winter. Tire pressure can be appropriately increased in winter.

When the weather is cold, the phenomenon of flat tires is less, but more because of tire damage. When air leaks, it may be that the friction between the tire and the ground increases, and foreign objects are stuck in the tire, such as nails, screws, sharp stones, etc.

Among them, nails and screws are the most likely to pierce the tire and make the gas in the tire leak out. If not handled in time, it will aggravate the damage of the damaged parts.

What if you find a flat tire?

If the tire leaks, it should be inflated in time to ensure the stability and safety of the car during driving. In winter, car owners can increase the tire pressure appropriately to avoid the phenomenon of tire pressure leakage caused by thermal expansion and cold contraction.

Under normal circumstances, the tire pressure in winter will be around 2.6~2.8, and there will be a standard tire pressure mark on the fuel tank cover of the vehicle. Vehicles mainly check whether the tire pressure is normal in time to avoid adverse effects on vehicles caused by too high or too low tire pressure.
