What is the general tire pressure for car tires?
1 Answers
Typically, the inflation pressure for household car tires is between 0.2~0.25MPa. The hazards of either too high or too low tire pressure are as follows: Hazards of too low tire pressure: The friction coefficient with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption. The friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, causing the tire temperature to rise sharply, the tire to soften, and its strength to drop drastically. When driving at high speeds, this may result in a tire blowout. Hazards of too high tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire decrease, affecting braking performance. It may cause the steering wheel to shake or veer, reducing driving comfort. It accelerates the wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, making it prone to bulging or trapping stones. Additionally, it causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body. This increases the impact experienced while driving and raises the noise level during travel.
