What is the suitable tire pressure in summer?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure in summer is generally appropriate between 2.2-2.4 bar. As the temperature and road surface temperature rise, the tire pressure can easily increase during high-speed or long-distance driving. Excessive tire pressure can lead to brake failure and may cause tire bursts when encountering road protrusions or depressions. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire 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 and bursts, leading to tire blowouts.
