What is the appropriate tire pressure for a Volvo XC60?
1 Answers
Volvo XC60 tire pressure should be: 2.4-2.5 bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Tire friction and adhesion will decrease, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Reduces puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more easily punctured, and impacts can cause internal cracks and blowouts, leading to tire bursts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, posing safety risks; Increases movement of various tire parts, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage and abnormal wear at the bead area; Multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in tire bursts; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
