Is a tire pressure of 2.1 bar suitable for highway driving?
1 Answers
A tire pressure of 2.1 bar is not suitable for highway driving. The impacts of low tire pressure include: 1. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface; 2. Heavier steering wheel and tendency to veer off course; 3. Increased movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heat generation due to excessive rolling; 4. Reduced functionality of the cord and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage; 5. Excessive friction with the wheel hub, resulting in damage to the bead area; 6. Increased risk of tire blowout during high-speed driving; 7. Larger tire contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. Precautions before driving on the highway include: 1. Checking if the tire pressure meets the standard; 2. Inspecting tire tread wear; 3. Testing braking effectiveness; 4. Checking the levels of various fluids.
