What is 2.5 tire pressure in kPa?
1 Answers
Tire pressure of 2.5 refers to 2.5 Bar, so 2.5 tire pressure equals 250 kPa. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and tendency to veer, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracking, while generating flexing movement that leads to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, and also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, hastening shoulder wear. Methods to address insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to normal tire pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If inspection reveals a puncture, promptly drive to a tire shop for repair, then reinflate; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by rim deformation; it is recommended to inspect and replace the rim.
