What is the normal tire pressure range for a Focus?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for a Focus is between 2.3 bar and 2.5 bar. Generally, you can refer to the label on the back of the fuel tank cap or the car's manual for the recommended tire pressure. The hazards of overinflated tires are as follows: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates uneven wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, and impacts can cause internal cracks or blowouts, leading to tire bursts. The hazards of underinflated tires are as follows: Increases friction 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; Weakens the function of 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, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire bursts; Increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements that generate excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
