What is the recommended tire pressure for 700-16 tires?

[JosiahDella]

700-16 steel-belted tires generally require higher pressure than nylon tires. The front tires should be inflated to 7 bar, and the rear tires to 8 bar. Here is relevant information: Steel-belted tires for trucks (high-pressure tires): Inflation pressure ranges from 0.5 to 0.7 MPa (5~7 kg/cm²); Standard tire inflation pressure: Generally around 0.5 MPa; Steel-belted tires: Can be appropriately increased to around 0.6 MPa. Additional information about tire pressure: Insufficient pressure will increase tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracking while generating flexing motion. This leads to excessive heat buildup, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord ply, and breakage of cords. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating shoulder wear.
