What is the appropriate tire pressure for the front tires of a sedan?
1 Answers
The tire pressure for the front tires of a sedan is generally around 2.3 bar. Under normal circumstances, the front tire pressure is higher than the rear tire pressure. This is because the front of the vehicle is equipped with an engine, while the rear, unless frequently loaded with items, tends to be lighter than the front, resulting in higher front tire pressure compared to the rear. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended 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 overinflated tires: Reduced friction and grip, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, or even tire bursts.
