What is the normal range of tire pressure in kPa?
1 Answers
Tire pressure varies depending on the tire type: 1. Standard tires typically have a pressure range of 240 to 250 kPa; 2. Reinforced tires usually require 280 to 290 kPa. The impacts of overinflated tires include: 1. Increased friction with the ground, reducing tire grip and compromising braking performance and driving comfort; 2. Accelerated wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; 3. Increased vehicle vibration, hastening tire aging, reducing wear resistance, and raising the risk of blowouts. Conversely, underinflated tires may lead to: 1. Larger contact area with the road, making the steering wheel heavier and affecting handling; 2. Higher risk of overheating and blowouts, causing the tire body to expand; 3. Greater likelihood of cracks on the inner and outer sides of the tire, accelerating rubber degradation and increasing wear.
