What is the appropriate tire pressure for highway driving?
1 Answers
For highway driving, a tire pressure of 2.3 to 2.5 bar is appropriate. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires, which plays a crucial role in a car's performance and power. The effects of excessive tire pressure include: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerated wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening its lifespan; 4. Increased body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; 5. Excessive stretching and deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; 6. Decreased puncture resistance, making it easier for sharp objects like nails or glass to penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, and potential tire bursts.
