What is the standard tire pressure for BMW?
1 Answers
BMW's normal tire pressure ranges from 2.2 bar to 2.5 bar. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires, and its level plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to drifting, which is detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracking and generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. Hazards of high tire pressure: Reduces tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and drifting, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening its lifespan; Increases vehicle body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching and deformation of tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts.
