Should I Release Air at 260 Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
Tire pressure at 260kpa is recommended to release some air before driving on highways. High tire pressure increases the load on the car during driving, making it more prone to tire blowouts. 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 body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts. Methods for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found during inspection, promptly drive to a tire shop for repair and reinflation; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage from a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim.
