What is the normal tire pressure for light trucks
1 Answers
Light trucks typically have a front tire pressure of around 9 and a rear tire pressure of around 11. Below is relevant information about tire pressure: 1. Over-inflation: Affects tire friction and adhesion, weakening braking performance; causes vehicle vibration, reducing comfort; accelerates wear on the central part of the tire, shortening its lifespan; increases the load on the vehicle while driving; reduces puncture resistance, making it easier for sharp objects like nails to penetrate the tire, leading to blowouts. 2. Under-inflation: Increases friction with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavier and prone to veering; increases tire movement, causing abnormal heat buildup; accelerates tire wear, shortening its lifespan; softens the tire, reducing its strength and potentially causing blowouts; leads to sidewall cracking, promoting rubber aging and accelerating shoulder wear.
