What is the operating temperature of tires on highways?
1 Answers
Tires operate at temperatures between 60-130 degrees Celsius on highways. Here are some precautions to avoid excessive tire temperature: 1. Tire pressure: When tire pressure is below the standard, wear increases; when it is above the standard, the contact area decreases, leading to increased pressure, which can cause sudden tire blowouts and affect driving safety. 2. Avoid emergency braking: Try to avoid sudden braking while driving to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging between the tire and the road. If there are hard or sharp objects on the road, slow down and drive carefully to avoid sudden increases in pressure caused by emergency braking, which could lead to foreign objects puncturing the tire. 3. Do not use water to cool the tires: Tires can overheat during prolonged or high-speed driving, and the internal pressure increases. In such cases, you should stop to let the tires cool down. Never use water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tire tread rubber.
