Can You Continue Driving with Overinflated Tires?
1 Answers
Tires with excessive pressure should not be driven on; immediate inspection and pressure adjustment are required. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates uneven wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Excessive stretching of tire cords reduces elasticity, increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreased puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, or even tire bursts.
