Will a tire pressure of 2.8 cause a blowout?
1 Answers
Although a tire pressure of 2.8 is slightly high, the tire's load-bearing capacity is not as weak as imagined. The maximum tire pressure that a tire can withstand generally reaches around 3.5-4.2 bar. Therefore, a tire pressure of 2.8 will not cause a blowout. This is mainly because if a blowout is caused by excessive tire pressure, it would require high-temperature gas expansion to reach the tire's load-bearing limit. Under normal circumstances, gas expansion is unlikely to reach the tire's load-bearing limit. More details are as follows: 1. It is undeniable that a tire pressure of 2.8 is indeed slightly high. Although it does not pose a risk of blowout, it will directly affect the car's braking performance, increasing the braking distance, and it will also accelerate the wear of the tread's central area. 2. When the car is in motion, due to prolonged friction between the tires and the ground, the tire temperature will rise significantly, and the tire pressure will also increase accordingly. If the displayed tire pressure is under these conditions, then a tire pressure of 2.8 is also normal.
