What is the normal tire pressure for a three-wheeled motorcycle?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure for a three-wheeled motorcycle is 170kpa for the front wheel and 200-220kpa for the rear wheels. Each tire has maximum and minimum pressure limits. Exceeding these limits can lead to the risk of a tire blowout, while insufficient tire pressure can cause premature tire damage. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more likely to be punctured, leading to internal cracks and blowouts. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout; increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground and accelerating shoulder wear.
