Can a bicycle pump be used to inflate a flat car tire?

[SanMila]

In theory, it is possible, but in practical operation, inflating a car tire with a bicycle pump can be quite laborious due to the high internal pressure of car tires. Here is some relevant information about inflating car tires: 1. Precautions for inflating car tires: Understand the recommended tire pressure range for your vehicle. Before inflating, measure the tire pressure using a high-quality tire pressure gauge with accurate readings, preferably one with a calibration certificate. Ensure that the tire pressure is consistent across all four tires. 2. Reasons why car tires need to be inflated: Underinflation can cause tire wear. When a tire is underinflated, the sidewalls bear excessive pressure, generating significant heat that can damage the tire. Additionally, all tires naturally lose some air over time, with some losing up to 1 pound of pressure in two months under normal conditions.
