What is the appropriate tire pressure for 16-inch tires?
1 Answers
16-inch tires are suitable with a tire pressure of 2.3 to 2.5 bar, which can be determined based on the manufacturer's recommended pressure values. The manufacturer's recommended pressure values can be found in the vehicle's user manual, on the label near the B-pillar of the driver's door, in the drawer next to the driver's seat, or on the fuel tank cap. The hazards of excessive tire pressure include: 1. Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance and tire lifespan; 2. Decreased puncture resistance, increasing the risk of tire blowouts; 3. Accelerated wear of the central tread pattern, reducing tire lifespan, increasing vehicle vibration, and affecting the lifespan of other components; 4. Excessive stretching of the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving, decreasing puncture resistance; 5. Increased susceptibility to punctures from sharp objects like nails and glass, leading to internal cracks and blowouts upon impact.
