Is 250 kpa tire pressure high?
1 Answers
Tire pressure of 250 kpa is not high, this value is within the normal range. A tire pressure of 250 kpa means the car tire pressure is 2.5 bar. According to the stipulations and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressures for different tires are as follows: standard tires are 2.4-2.5 bar; reinforced tires are 2.8-2.9 bar; while the maximum air pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Air pressure is the lifeblood of tires. Both too high and too low pressure will shorten the service life of the tire. Too low pressure will increase the deformation of the tire body, making the tire side prone to cracks, while also generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat generation and accelerating rubber aging. Too high pressure will cause excessive stretching deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body, increasing the load the car bears while driving. If impacted, it may cause internal cracks and explosions. At the same time, too high pressure will also accelerate tread wear and reduce resistance to punctures.
