When tyres are under inflated there is continual internal friction between the foundation cord and the rubber, causing overheating of the tyre and consequent rapid deterioration.
Water can also enter causing rust, r resulting eventually in the rims having sharp edges which cut the walls of the tyre near the bead.
Most cars in Hongkong run on under inflated tyres with the above disastrous results.
