What is the appropriate tire pressure for all seasons?
1 Answers
In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car tires, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2 bar. In summer, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is generally sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Hazards of overinflated or underinflated tires: For tires, the pressure should neither be too high nor too low. Overinflated tires reduce the contact area with the ground, leading to poor grip and affecting the car's handling and driving stability. Underinflated tires can cause wave-like deformation at high speeds, which affects tire lifespan and increases the risk of blowouts. Standard tire pressure introduction: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar.
