Is a tire pressure of 250kpa normal in summer?
1 Answers
Tire pressure of 250 is normal. However, in summer, it is recommended to keep the tire pressure slightly lower. The normal range for most passenger cars is between 2.3 and 2.5, which is safe to use. When driving on highways, a slightly higher tire pressure within the safe range does not pose safety risks and can even improve fuel efficiency. However, it should not be too low, as excessively low tire pressure can easily lead to tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased fuel consumption: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, thereby increasing friction and driving resistance, which naturally leads to higher fuel consumption. Shortened tire lifespan: Similarly, due to the increased contact area with the ground, tire wear is accelerated, reducing the tire's service life. Higher risk of blowouts: Increased friction raises the temperature of the tire, making it softer and weaker. When the tire can no longer support the vehicle's load, especially during high-speed driving, it is more prone to blowouts.
