Is a tire pressure reading of 2.0 normal?
1 Answers
An automobile tire pressure reading of 2.0 is not normal and is lower than the standard range. The normal tire pressure for a car is between 2.3 and 2.6 bar. The hazards of low tire pressure include: 1. Increased road friction coefficient leading to higher fuel consumption; 2. Heavy steering wheel, prone to deviation, which is not conducive to driving safety; 3. Increased movement of various parts of the tire, excessive rolling can cause abnormal tire heating; 4. Reduced performance of cord and rubber, cord breakage and delamination or excessive friction between the cord and rim, resulting in bead damage and abnormal wear; 5. Increased friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and reduced strength, which can lead to tire blowouts; 6. Too low tire pressure increases the deformation of the tire body, causing sidewall cracks, flexing motion, leading to overheating, rubber aging, accelerated shoulder wear, and shortened tire lifespan.
