Where Can I Check Tire Pressure?
1 Answers
Places where you can measure tire pressure include auto repair shops, 4S stores, and other locations equipped with tire pressure gauges. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar; for reinforced tires, it is 2.8-2.9 bar. The maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver in case of leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure readings for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Overview: This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect monitoring. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid approach reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect low pressure in multiple tires simultaneously. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a fully direct system.
