Is a tire pressure of 280 too high in summer?
1 Answers
The value is somewhat high. For family cars in summer, the recommended tire pressure is between 230 and 260. Using 280 is not advised for two reasons: firstly, it affects the ride comfort of the vehicle, and secondly, it significantly increases the risk of tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Below is additional information: 1. Effects of high tire pressure: It can affect the vehicle's braking distance, reduce the tire's grip on the road, shorten the tire's lifespan, accelerate tread wear and aging, impair normal driving, increase fuel consumption, and in severe cases, lead to tire blowouts. Excessive tire pressure causes tire deformation, reduces overall elasticity, and increases load. 2. How to check tire pressure: Vehicles equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems can display the pressure on the dashboard or central console. Alternatively, visit a tire repair shop to use professional equipment for inspection. If the pressure is too low, it needs to be replenished; if it's too high, it should be reduced.
