What is the appropriate tire pressure for a small truck?
1 Answers
High-pressure tires have an inflation pressure of 0.5 to 0.7 MPa. High-pressure tires are suitable for large trucks/buses, with an inflation pressure generally around 0.5 MPa, while steel-belted tires can be appropriately increased to around 0.6 MPa. Influencing factors: The specific tire pressure for each vehicle should be based on the manufacturer's recommended value. This is because the setting of tire pressure mainly considers vehicle factors such as body weight and chassis height, and is not necessarily related to the brand of tires used. Hazards of low tire pressure: The friction coefficient with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; it causes the steering wheel to become heavy and prone to deviation, among other factors detrimental to driving safety; it increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; the friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under such conditions may lead to tire blowouts.
