How many vehicles have ended up in crashes and fatalities due to flat tires? How many tire shop workers have been injured due to flat tires? It can be seen how dangerous a tire blowout is. It will not only cause the car to run uncontrollably, but if the speed is high, it may also cause the car to roll over, posing a great threat to the life safety of the people in the car! Especially passenger cars that are known for their speed.
The biggest "culprit" causing tire blowouts is tire pressure. Therefore, when inflating small passenger vehicles, you must pay attention to whether the tire pressure of the car is within the appropriate range.
People often ask what is the appropriate tire pressure for passenger cars? I believe that many tire shops charge the highest tire pressure value of 2.4 or 2.5. So, is 2.4 or 2.5 more suitable? Regarding this issue, we visited some experienced tire shop owners. Unexpectedly, these shop owners said: Wake up! The most suitable tire pressure for small passenger cars is neither 2.4 nor 2.5. So how much should the car's tire pressure be adjusted to?
In fact, it seems that the tire pressures of small vehicles are basically the same, but the actual situation is not like this. Because each car's weight and tire size are mostly different, the car's tire pressure will also vary. Others think that the suitable tire pressure is 2.4 or 2.5, but it may not be suitable for certain types of cars. Therefore, when the car leaves the factory, the car's standard tire pressure will be marked on the car, and some will be on the driver's side. On the B-pillar, some are on the back of the fuel tank cap. If not, there must be one on the manual. The most reasonable tire pressure is only based on the value marked on the car.
What needs special attention here is that it is not good for the car's tire pressure to be too high or too low. Too high will lead to poor tire adhesion, and the vehicle can easily cause a tire blowout while driving. On the contrary, if the car tire pressure is too low, it will increase the car's fuel consumption and cause damage to the tires. It can also easily cause tire blowouts. Therefore, when inflating the vehicle, be sure to check the rating marked on the customer's car. When it comes to tire pressure, don't blindly listen to what your colleagues say about how much tire pressure is enough. Otherwise, if the tire pressure is inappropriate, customers may encounter unexpected dangers while driving.
