Is a Tire Pressure of 2.3 Suitable in Summer?
1 Answers
Summer tire pressure of 2.3 is not suitable. According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. A pressure of 2.3 bar is below the minimum standard value, making it abnormal. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and easy deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, sharply increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts; 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 layer, cord breakage, and increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
