What is the appropriate tire pressure for a Corolla?
1 Answers
The recommended tire pressure for a Corolla is generally between 2.3-2.5 bar, which is considered safe within this standard range. Tire pressure plays a crucial role in a car's performance and power, as it is the lifeblood of the tires. Both excessively high and low tire pressure can shorten the lifespan of the tires. Hazards of overinflated tires: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates uneven wear of the central tread pattern, decreasing tire lifespan; 4. Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; 5. Overstretches the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: 1. Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; 2. Makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; 3. Increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; 4. Weakens the function of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; 5. Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. Summary: The normal tire pressure for a car is between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. In summer, the tire pressure should be slightly lower, around 2.2 bar, while in winter, it should be slightly higher to better protect the tires.
