How to Read the Tire Pressure Markings on Tires?
1 Answers
Tire pressure markings are generally located on the sidewall of the tire. These markings typically indicate 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 that tire under normal conditions is 350 kPa. 'MAX.Load615KG' indicates that the maximum load capacity for a single tire is 615 kg. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light: The TPMS indicator is a yellow symbol resembling an irregular circle with no top seal, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. When this light illuminates, it indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure, TPMS not reset, or a damaged tire pressure sensor.
