Is a tire pressure of 3.0 normal for an SUV?
1 Answers
An SUV tire pressure of 3.0 bar is not normal. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. A pressure of 3.0 bar exceeds the maximum recommended value, making it abnormal. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, leading to internal cracks or blowouts.
