Can You Drive on the Highway with a Tire Pressure of 2.1?
1 Answers
Tire pressure of 2.1 bar is not suitable for highway driving. The normal tire pressure for a car is around 2.5 bar. When the tire pressure drops to 2.1 bar, it is considered too low, and it must be replenished promptly before driving on the highway. Both excessively high and low tire pressure can negatively impact the normal operation of the vehicle. If the tire pressure is too high, the car's stability at high speeds decreases, and the sensation of bumps on uneven roads becomes more pronounced, affecting the comfort of passengers. In hot weather, excessively high tire pressure also increases the risk of a tire blowout. On the other hand, if the tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire and the road increases, leading to higher fuel consumption and reduced vehicle handling, making steering more difficult.
