What is the appropriate tire pressure for summer tires?
1 Answers
For summer tires, the tire pressure can generally be set to the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can usually be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, 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 tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more likely to be punctured, and impacts can cause internal cracks and blowouts, leading to tire failure.
