What does a tire pressure of 240 mean?
1 Answers
Tire pressure of 240 means 2.4 bar, which falls within the normal range. Generally, the recommended tire pressure for household vehicles ranges between 2.3 to 2.5 bar. The specific tire pressure values for your car's tires can be found on the back of the fuel tank cap or in the vehicle's user manual. Different types of car tires have different recommended pressure values, so it's important to adjust according to your vehicle's usage conditions. During long-distance driving, prolonged friction generates heat in the tires, causing the pressure to rise in high-temperature environments. It's not advisable to lower the tire pressure excessively to prevent blowouts, as insufficient tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to internal friction, heat generation, gas consumption, and potential damage to the tire's internal structure.
