How to Read the Tire Pressure Limit on Tires?
1 Answers
The tire pressure limit can be found on the tire pressure markings. These markings are usually located on the sidewall of the tire, indicating the maximum load capacity of a single tire and the maximum safe inflation pressure under normal conditions. For example, if the sidewall reads MAX.PRESS.350kPa, it means the maximum safe inflation pressure for the tire under normal conditions is 350kPa; MAX.Load615KG indicates the maximum load capacity of a single tire is 615KG. According to the international standard GBT2978-2008, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be slightly increased by about 0.2bar based on the standard tire pressure. Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to prevent blowouts due to high temperatures or damage to the tire pressure sensor.
