What is the normal tire pressure for Tesla?
1 Answers
For the Model 3, the tire pressure typically ranges between 2.3 and 2.5. In addition to following the manufacturer's recommended standard tire pressure, it is also important to consider various other factors such as season, vehicle load, tire pressure environment, and road conditions. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates uneven wear on the central tread of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches 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 prone to punctures, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, and potential tire bursts. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, posing risks to driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; Weakens the function of cords and rubber, causing 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, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire bursts; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
