What is the optimal tire pressure?
1 Answers
Standard tire pressure ranges from 2.4 to 2.5 bar, while reinforced tire pressure is between 2.8 and 2.9 bar. The maximum tire pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and it plays a crucial role in a car's performance and power. The load capacity of a vehicle depends on the tire pressure. Maintaining proper tire pressure is essential. Excessive tire pressure reduces tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance, and can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort. Insufficient tire pressure increases the friction coefficient between the tire and the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption, and can result in heavy steering and deviation, which are detrimental to driving safety.
