Is a tire pressure of 230 kPa suitable for cars in summer?
1 Answers
In summer, a car tire pressure of 230 kPa is appropriate. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure for regular tires is 240-250 kPa. Due to high temperatures in summer, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is generally considered the normal range. However, if the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can usually be about 100 kPa lower than the standard. Therefore, a tire pressure of 230 kPa in summer is normal. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will be triggered if the pressure is below 180 kPa or above 300 kPa. In this case, the tire needs to be checked and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to turn on. In this case, simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to turn on. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
