Does Higher Tire Pressure Save Fuel?
1 Answers
Higher tire pressure reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, which can indeed save fuel. However, the tire pressure should not be too high, as it may affect traction and vehicle handling. Tires are the only components of a car that come into contact with the ground, playing a crucial role in driving stability and safety. Tire pressure should neither be too high nor too low. The normal tire pressure typically ranges between 230 to 250 kPa, or 2.3 to 2.5 bar. For specific tire pressure standards, refer to the user manual. Tires require the correct air pressure to function effectively; both excessively low and high tire pressures are detrimental.
