How much air pressure should be in a 175r14lt tire?
1 Answers
175r14lt tires typically require an air pressure between 2.3 and 2.5. Here are some key points about vehicle tire pressure: 1. Lifespan: Both overinflation and underinflation can shorten a tire's lifespan. Underinflation increases tire deformation and contact area with the road, leading to sidewall cracks, excessive heat, rubber degradation, and accelerated shoulder wear. 2. Increased load: Overinflation causes excessive stretching of tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. 3. Follow manufacturer recommendations: Always inflate tires to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Recommended pressure values can usually be found in the vehicle's user manual, on the label near the driver's door (B-pillar), in the drawer next to the driver's seat, or on the fuel tank cap.
