What is the proper tire pressure for a Pajero?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure for a Pajero is generally between 2.3-2.5 bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be adjusted slightly higher by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is usually sufficient, such as 2.4 bar for standard tires. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass, the tire is more likely to be punctured, leading to internal cracks and blowouts. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, posing safety risks; Increases movement of tire parts, leading to abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead and causing abnormal wear; Multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may lead to blowouts; Increases tire deformation, causing cracks on the sidewalls and generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.
