Why Should Front Tire Pressure Be Higher Than Rear Tires?
1 Answers
Front tire pressure should be higher than rear tires because the front wheels are both driving wheels and steering wheels, requiring better tire adhesion. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: The tires become too soft, increasing the friction coefficient between the tires and the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. The part of the tire in contact with the ground undergoes significant deformation, which over time can cause fatigue in the tire rubber and internal cords, affecting tire lifespan. It may also result in heavy steering, abnormal pulling, and other factors detrimental to driving safety. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Steering wheel vibration and pulling, reduced ride comfort, decreased tire friction and adhesion, impaired braking effectiveness, accelerated wear of the central tread pattern, and shortened tire lifespan.
