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. The normal tire pressure for cars is between 2.3-2.5 bar, and typically, tire pressure values within this range are considered the safest. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to drifting, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; The friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracks, while also causing flexing movements that lead to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, cord breakage, and increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. Methods for addressing insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to the normal tire pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If inspection reveals a puncture, promptly drive to a tire shop for repair and then reinflate; If the tire pressure warning appears again some time after inflation but there is no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by rim deformation. It is recommended to check the rim and replace it if necessary.
