What is the minimum tire pressure for a car?
1 Answers
Car tire pressure should not be lower than 1.7 bar. If the tire pressure is below 1.7 bar, the vehicle should not continue to be driven. There is usually a standard tire pressure chart for the vehicle model near the fuel filler cap. Follow the tire pressure indicated on the chart for inflation. If there is no chart near the fuel filler cap, check the door pillars by opening all four doors, as the recommended tire pressure is often labeled there. After the car has been driven and the tires are warm, a tire pressure increase of 0.1 to 0.2 bar is normal. The specific tire pressure should be based on the manufacturer's recommended value. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Insufficient tire pressure can increase tire deformation, lead to cracks on the tire sidewalls, and cause excessive flexing, resulting in overheating. This can accelerate rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and even breakage of the cords. Additionally, low tire pressure increases the tire's contact area with the road.
