How to Effectively Cool Down Tires When Driving on Highways in Summer?

Reduce the tire pressure to the minimum value of the normal range. Nitrogen with a low expansion coefficient can be used for inflation. Below are specific details about tire pressure: 1. Definition: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. 2. Importance: Air pressure is the lifeline of a tire; both too high and too low will shorten the tire's lifespan. Insufficient pressure increases tire body deformation, leading to cracks on the tire side and causing flexing movements, which results in excessive heat, accelerates rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and breakage of the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, speeding up shoulder wear. Excessive pressure causes the tire cords to stretch excessively, reducing the tire body's elasticity, increasing the load on the car while driving, and may lead to internal cracks and blowouts upon impact. Additionally, high pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces resistance to rolling.
