Is a tire pressure of 2.5 bar acceptable for highway driving?
1 Answers
Running a tire pressure of 2.5 bar on the highway is acceptable, and in summer, the tire pressure can even be slightly lower. It is recommended to check the tire pressure before driving on the highway or embarking on a long-distance journey, as well as to inspect the tire surface for any damage. Tires are the only components of a car that come into contact with the ground, and they are crucial for driving stability and safety. Tire pressure should neither be too high nor too low. If the tire pressure is too low during high-speed driving, it can cause wave-like deformation of the tire, increasing the risk of a blowout. Conversely, if the tire pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire and the ground will decrease, affecting traction and reducing driving stability and handling.
