What is the standard tire pressure for summer?
1 Answers
The standard tire pressure for summer is between 2.2 and 2.4 bar. The standard tire pressure for your car can be found on the sticker near the B-pillar or C-pillar of the door or in the vehicle's user manual. Tire pressure monitoring is an automatic real-time monitoring of tire pressure while driving, alerting you to tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, which is essentially the 'blood pressure' of the car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Air pressure is the lifeline of the tire; both too high and too low pressure will shorten the tire's lifespan. Low pressure increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the tire side, causing flexing movements that result in excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord fabric, and breakage of the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. High pressure causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving. In case of impact, it can lead to internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, high pressure accelerates wear on the tire tread and reduces its resistance to punctures.
