What does the pressure value on the tire indicate?
1 Answers
The pressure value on the tire indicates the maximum pressure the tire can withstand. It is important to pay attention to the tire pressure value regularly, as abnormal tire pressure can cause certain hazards. Hazards of over-inflation: The contact area between the tread and the ground decreases, leading to severe wear in the center of the tire crown; the adhesion between the tire and the ground is reduced, which decreases braking efficiency and weakens the vehicle's braking performance; the cushioning performance is reduced, lowering ride comfort; when the tire is severely damaged, over-inflation can also pose a risk of tire blowout. Hazards of under-inflation: The contact area between the tread and the ground increases, causing severe wear on both sides of the tire crown; the adhesion between the tire and the ground increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; the cushioning performance is reduced, lowering ride comfort. In fact, both over-inflation and under-inflation can affect ride comfort.
