Can Car Tires Be Inflated with a Bicycle Pump?
1 Answers
Car tires can be inflated with a bicycle pump. Passenger cars typically use low-pressure tires with a recommended pressure range of 2.2 to 3.0 bar, while bicycle tires usually require 3.5 to 4.5 bar, which is higher than car tires. As long as the valve stem types match, a regular bicycle pump can be used to inflate car tires. The functions of tires include: 1. Supporting the vehicle's entire weight and bearing its load; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque while maintaining road adhesion; 3. Absorbing shocks and vibrations during driving to prevent excessive vibration and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. Enhancing high-speed performance while reducing noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
