Is it normal for one front tire pressure to be 240 and the other 260?
1 Answers
A tire pressure of 260KPa is abnormal for your car, as it exceeds the standard tire pressure range for ordinary household vehicles. The normal tire pressure range should be between 240KPa and 250KPa. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, reducing tire lifespan; increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving; decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, and impacts can cause internal cracks and blowouts, leading to tire bursts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in tire bursts; increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
