Is a tire pressure of 220 normal?
1 Answers
A tire pressure of 220 kPa is not normal. The normal range for tire pressure is between 230 kPa and 250 kPa. Driving with low tire pressure can cause severe tire wear, and in serious cases, it may lead to a tire blowout. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening its lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends the 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, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts. Methods for addressing insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found during inspection, promptly drive to a tire shop for repair and then reinflate the tire; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any visible puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim if necessary.
