Is a Car Tire Pressure of 210 Normal?
1 Answers
A tire pressure of 210 kPa is within the normal range, but it is slightly low and requires inflation. Effects of Low Tire Pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to abnormal temperature rise inside the tire during driving. Additionally, severe deformation of the tire sidewall accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, increasing the risk of a blowout. It also raises fuel consumption and reduces tire lifespan. Effects of High Tire Pressure: Excessive tire pressure reduces friction and adhesion, negatively impacting braking performance. It can cause steering wheel vibration and misalignment, reducing driving comfort. It accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan. Increased body vibration can indirectly affect the longevity of other vehicle components.
