What is the appropriate tire pressure for the MG6?
1 Answers
The recommended tire pressure for the MG6 is between 2.4-2.5 bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be adjusted based on the standard tire pressure, typically increasing it by about 0.2 bar. In summer, it is advisable to maintain the tire pressure at the lower limit of the standard range, for example, 2.4 bar for standard tires. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more likely to be punctured, leading to internal cracks and blowouts. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing excessive heat due to over-rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground and accelerating shoulder wear.
