Is a tire pressure reading of 2.2 normal?
1 Answers
A tire pressure of 2.2 is not normal and is slightly low. According to international standards and requirements: standard tires should be between 2.4 to 2.5 bar, reinforced tires between 2.8 to 2.9 bar, and the maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. In winter, it is advisable to increase the tire pressure by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure, while in summer, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure should be maintained. Hazards of low tire pressure: 1. Increased fuel consumption: The friction coefficient with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. Safety risks: It can cause the steering wheel to feel heavy and lead to issues like veering, which are detrimental to driving safety. 3. Abnormal overheating: Increased movement of various parts of the tire can result in excessive rolling, causing abnormal overheating of the tire.
