Is a tire pressure of 2.7 bar normal for a small car?
1 Answers
A tire pressure of 2.7 bar is not normal for a small car. Generally, small cars use standard tires, and according to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. A pressure of 2.7 bar exceeds the maximum recommended value, so it is not normal. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching and deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, and impacts can lead to internal cracks and blowouts, resulting in a tire burst.
