Is a Cold Tire Pressure of 2.0 Normal in Summer?
1 Answers
In summer, a cold tire pressure of 2.0 is not normal. A tire pressure of 2.0 is somewhat low. The normal tire pressure for a vehicle's tires should be between 2.3 and 2.5. Low tire pressure can lead to increased fuel consumption, reduced driving stability, and in severe cases, may cause tire blowouts. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to drifting, which is detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area, and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under such conditions may result in a blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracking, and generates flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, cord breakage, and also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
