What is the normal tire pressure for a sedan?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure for a sedan is generally around 2.2 to 2.5 bar. Air pressure is the lifeblood of tires; both too high and too low will shorten the tire's lifespan. Insufficient pressure increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracking, while also causing flexing movements that lead to excessive heat generation, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, speeding up shoulder wear. Excessive pressure overextends the tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving. In case of impact, it can cause internal cracking and blowouts. Additionally, high pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.
