What is the recommended tire pressure for a car's spare tire?
1 Answers
Generally, the tire pressure for a car's spare tire should be maintained between 2.3-2.5 bar. Below are the functions of tire pressure and the relationship between tire pressure and a car's power performance: Functions of tire pressure: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and damage to the engine will lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power. Relationship between tire pressure and car power performance: When a car is driving at a constant speed on a level road, it must overcome rolling resistance from the ground and air resistance. Tire pressure has a significant impact on the rolling resistance coefficient. When the pressure decreases, the rolling resistance coefficient increases rapidly. This is because, with lower tire pressure, the deformation of the rolling tire increases, leading to higher hysteresis losses. Therefore, appropriate tire pressure ensures good power performance for the car.
