What is the proper tire pressure in summer?
1 Answers
In summer, the tire pressure is generally most suitable when it is about 0.1 bar lower than the standard pressure. The standard tire pressure is 2.4-2.5 bar. The exact pressure should be determined based on the vehicle model. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. In summer, high temperatures can cause tires to burst if the pressure is too high. When inflating tires in summer, use a pressure gauge to check the pressure to avoid over-inflation and tire rupture. 2. Excessive tire pressure can overstretch and deform the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body. This increases the load on the car while driving, potentially causing internal cracks and blowouts upon impact. Additionally, high pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.
