Is it safe to drive with a tire pressure of 2.1Bar?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, if the car is unloaded, a tire pressure of 2.1 bar is generally safe for driving, with a low risk of tire blowouts. However, due to the slightly low pressure, fuel consumption may increase. On the other hand, if the car is fully loaded, driving with a tire pressure of 2.1 bar is not recommended, especially at high speeds. Low tire pressure combined with a full load significantly increases the risk of tire blowouts and may also cause the car to pull to one side, compromising driving safety. Hazards of overinflated or underinflated tires: For tires, the pressure should neither be too high nor too low. Overinflated tires reduce the contact area with the road surface, leading to poor traction, which affects the car's handling and driving stability. Underinflated tires can cause wave-like deformation during high-speed driving, shortening the tire's lifespan and increasing the likelihood of blowouts. Standard tire pressure guidelines: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar.
