Is a tire pressure of 200 kPa normal for the X-Trail?
1 Answers
The tire pressure of 200 kPa for the X-Trail is not normal. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure should be between 2.4-2.5 bar. A pressure of 2.0 bar is below the minimum standard value, so it is not normal. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and misalignment, reducing driving comfort; accelerates uneven wear on the central tread of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes heavy steering and misalignment, posing safety risks; increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to excessive heat generation; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage and abnormal wear at the bead area.
