What does a tire pressure of 250kpa mean?
1 Answers
Tire pressure of 250KPA means inflating to 2.5 bar. The normal range for tire pressure is between 230kpa and 250kpa. Driving with low tire pressure can cause severe tire wear, and in serious cases, may lead to tire blowouts. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, 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 elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle 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 or blowouts. Methods to address low tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found, 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 a leaking rim. Check the rim and replace if necessary.
