What is the best tire pressure for summer tires?
1 Answers
The optimal tire pressure for summer tires is 2.4bar. Here are some key points about tire pressure: 1. Underinflation: This increases tire body deformation, leading to cracks on the sidewalls and excessive flexing movement. It causes overheating, accelerates rubber aging, fatigues the cord ply, and may break the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the road, accelerating shoulder wear. 2. Overinflation: This overextends the tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity and increasing the vehicle's load during driving. It may cause internal cracks or blowouts upon impact. Overinflation also accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.
