Does Tire Pressure Change with Temperature?
1 Answers
Tire pressure does change with temperature; the higher the temperature, the higher the air pressure. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: A tire pressure of 210 is considered low, with the standard range being 2.4-2.5. Low tire pressure increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the tire sidewalls. It also causes excessive flexing, resulting in overheating, accelerated rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and even cord breakage. Additionally, it increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. Tire Pressure: Tire pressure is the lifeblood of a tire, strictly referring to the air pressure inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car—its failure can end the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is like the car's blood pressure; its level plays a crucial role in the vehicle's performance and power.
