Is a Tire Pressure of 200 Normal in Summer?
1 Answers
A tire pressure of 200 is not normal; 200 kilopascals is slightly low. Generally, tire pressure should be between 220 and 240 kilopascals. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. There is a standard tire pressure label on the rear end of the driver's side door, which indicates the pressure when the tire is cold, meaning the tire pressure measured after the car has been parked for at least three hours or driven no more than 1.6 kilometers is accurate. Excessive Tire Pressure: If the tire pressure is too high and significantly above the standard pressure, the tire's friction and adhesion will decrease, affecting braking performance, causing steering wheel vibration, deviation, and reducing driving comfort. It also accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening the tire's lifespan, increasing vehicle vibration, and indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. Insufficient Tire Pressure: If the tire pressure is too low and significantly below the standard pressure, it will increase the friction coefficient between the tire and the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. It can also make the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, among other factors that negatively impact driving safety. Insufficient tire pressure increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation in the tire.
