What is the recommended tire pressure for 750r16 tires carrying 10 tons?
2 Answers
750r16 tires carrying 10 tons should have a front tire pressure of 8.5 bar and a rear tire pressure of 10 bar. The functions of tires are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving; 4. To lower driving noise and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency. Tire maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly cleaning stones from tire treads; 2. Minimizing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Conducting regular front wheel alignment checks.
I've been in the truck repair business for many years and have seen this issue countless times. The 750r16 tire is a common commercial vehicle tire model. For a total vehicle weight of 10 tons, it means each tire bears significant pressure—you absolutely can't just guess the air pressure. Tire pressure must be determined based on the actual load of the vehicle. Generally, the maximum pressure for a 7.50-size tire is around 600 to 700 kPa. But if a 10-ton vehicle uses six wheels, each wheel carries nearly 1,700 kg on average. If the pressure is too low in this case, the tire sidewalls can overheat and deform, making a blowout on the road extremely dangerous. I always advise checking the pressure label on the door frame or manual first and having a professional measure the exact value. I constantly remind owners: excessive pressure causes suspension damage from bumpiness, while insufficient pressure leads to uneven tire wear and wasted fuel. Regular checks are the safest approach—never cut corners by randomly inflating tires.
