What is the recommended tire pressure for Toyota Izoa in winter?
1 Answers
Toyota Izoa's winter tire pressure should be maintained between 2.3-2.5 bar. In winter, it is advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. The hazards of over-inflated tires are as follows: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle; Decreases puncture resistance, making it easier for sharp objects like nails or glass to penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, or even tire bursts. The hazards of under-inflated tires are as follows: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Weakens the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; Multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength, which can lead to blowouts at high speeds; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and causing excessive heat due to flexing, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also enlarging the tire's contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.
