Is a Hot Tire Pressure of 270 High?
1 Answers
For most family cars, a tire pressure of 270 KPa is considered high. The normal tire pressure should be maintained between 230-250 KPa. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; it can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerate the localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening tire life; increase body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretching of the tire cords can lead to reduced elasticity of the tire body, increasing the load on the car while driving; puncture resistance decreases. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts due to impact, leading to tire bursts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes the steering wheel to become heavy and prone to deviation, among other factors 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, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in tire bursts; increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracks while generating flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage, also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
