What does the tire pressure kPa mean?
1 Answers
Tire kPa is a unit of air pressure, where one atmospheric pressure is approximately 100kPa. Below are specific guidelines for adjusting car tire pressure: 1. On roads with significant bumps, it's advisable to reduce the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2bar below the standard tire pressure. For long-distance high-speed driving, the tire pressure should not be too low; instead, increase it by about 0.2bar above the standard tire pressure's lower limit. 2. For new tires, the pressure can be increased by about 0.2bar above the standard. For old tires, appropriately reduce the pressure according to the standard, and if the wear is severe, set it to the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. 3. In winter, it's recommended to increase the tire pressure by about 0.2bar above the standard. In summer, follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. If the car is parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to prevent high-temperature blowouts.
