What is the normal range for tire pressure in summer?
1 Answers
In summer, maintaining tire pressure between 2.2 and 2.4 bar is considered the normal range. The standard tire pressure chart for vehicles can usually be found in: the vehicle's user manual, the label near the driver's door, the drawer next to the driver's seat, or the fuel tank cap door. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and it is essentially the blood pressure of a car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. When the tire pressure is too high, the overall rigidity increases, and while it prevents friction overheating and excessive bending, it can also lead to bulging or blowouts when encountering severe bumps, high temperatures, or collisions with sharp objects. On the other hand, if the tire pressure is too low, the contact area with the ground increases, which not only raises the friction coefficient between the tire and the ground but also causes excessive deformation of the cords in the tire sidewall rubber fabric when the tire rolls over the ground.
