Can You Inflate a Flat Car Tire with a Bicycle Pump?

[DeEmerson]

You can inflate a flat car tire with a bicycle pump, and here are the reasons: 1. Most household cars use low-pressure tires, with tire pressure ranging from (2.2-3.0 bar), while bicycle tires typically have a higher pressure of (3.5-4.5 bar). Therefore, an ordinary bicycle pump can be used to inflate car tires. 2. For long-distance travel, it's advisable to keep a bicycle pump in the trunk for emergency use. 3. Typically, pumping 15-20 times with a bicycle pump can increase the pressure of a 195/65 car tire by 0.1 bar. Using a high-pressure pump will be more efficient and require less effort.
