What is the appropriate tire pressure for small cars in summer?
1 Answers
In summer, the tire pressure can be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard pressure, with the standard being 2.4-2.5 bar. High temperatures in summer can increase the risk of tire blowouts if the pressure is too high. When inflating tires in summer, car owners should use a pressure gauge to check the pressure to avoid over-inflation, which can cause tire bursts and reduce puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks. Summer tire maintenance tips: 1. Cleaning: Regularly remove stones or debris from the tread grooves to prevent deformation of the tire crown. Check the tire sidewalls for scratches or punctures, and if any are found exposing the cords, replace the tire promptly. 2. Blowouts: Blowouts are not exclusive to summer. If the tire pressure is too low or too high, or if the tread is excessively worn and near the end of its life, tires can burst even in winter. Therefore, preventing tire blowouts should start with regular maintenance.
