What is the appropriate tire pressure for the Odyssey?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for the Odyssey is around 2.3-2.5 bar. 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; Maximum pressure: Should not exceed 3.5 bar. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, 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 tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing load during driving; Decreases puncture resistance, making tires more susceptible to damage from sharp objects like nails or glass, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, or tire bursts. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement of tire components, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces cord and rubber functionality, leading to delamination, cord breakage, or excessive friction with the rim, causing damage and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength, which can cause blowouts during high-speed driving; Increases tire deformation, leading to sidewall cracks, excessive heat generation, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also enlarging the tire's contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.
