What is the appropriate tire pressure for city driving?
1 Answers
The suitable tire pressure for city driving ranges from 2.0 to 2.8 bar. Follow the recommended standard tire pressure value for your vehicle. According to the provisions and requirements of 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; The maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening its lifespan; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects such as nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, and the impact may cause internal cracks and explosions, leading to a blowout.
