Is a tire pressure of 275 kPa normal?
1 Answers
A tire pressure of 275 kPa is not normal. The normal range for car tire pressure is generally between 2.3-2.5 bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening its lifespan; Increases vehicle body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching deformation of 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 or blowouts, leading to a flat tire. Methods for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If inspection reveals a puncture, promptly drive to a tire shop for repair and reinflation; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage from a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim.
