What is the appropriate tire pressure for desert off-roading?
1 Answers
For desert off-roading, it is recommended to set the tire pressure between 0.7-0.8 bar to ensure better traction on sand. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressure for different types of tires is 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. Normal tire pressure in winter: In winter, adjust the tire pressure based on the standard tire pressure, increasing it by approximately 0.2 bar. Normal tire pressure in summer: Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the vehicle is frequently parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be slightly lower than the standard by about 0.1 bar to prevent blowouts due to high temperatures.
