Is 215 kPa Tire Pressure Normal?
1 Answers
Tire pressure of 215 kPa is not normal. The normal range for tire pressure is between 230 kPa and 250 kPa. Driving with low tire pressure can cause severe tire wear and, in serious cases, may lead to a tire blowout. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts. Solutions for Underinflated Tires: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If the tire is found to be punctured, drive to a tire shop for repair and then reinflate; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any visible puncture, it may be due to a leaking rim. It is recommended to check and replace the rim if necessary.
