What is the normal range for summer tire pressure?
1 Answers
In summer, the normal tire pressure range is between 2.3 and 2.5. If the car is fully loaded with 5 passengers, it's recommended to adjust the tire pressure to around 2.5; for general use with two passengers, a tire pressure of 2.3 is normal. 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. Sharp objects like nails or glass can easily penetrate, causing internal cracks or blowouts. 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 from excessive rolling; Reduces cord and rubber functionality, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, causing bead damage and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may cause blowouts; Increases tire deformation, causing sidewall cracks and flexing movements that generate excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.
