Is 3.0 bar tire pressure too high in summer?
1 Answers
3.0 bar tire pressure in summer is on the high side. According to the international standard GBT2978-2008, the standard tire pressure for regular tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. In summer, due to high temperatures, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is generally considered the normal range. 3.0 bar is significantly higher than the normal summer tire pressure range. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching deformation of 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 and blowouts, leading to tire bursts.
