Correct tire pressure will help: ensure safety, increase tire life and prevent tire damage.
Incorrect tire pressure
Reduces tire life due to early replacement
Increases the risk of tire punctures due to nails or tears due to external impact
Over-inflating tires will limit flexibility and shock absorption when encountering obstacles.
How can correct tire pressure save money?
Correct tire pressure
UNINFLATION
– Causes tire deformation and heat buildup.
– Causes irreversible damage to the tire’s internal components. This also destroys the tire pressure and causes the tire to lose air quickly.
– Causes abnormal wear, similar to using rims that are too wide.
– Reduces tire life due to uneven tire wear.
INFLATE TO THE RIGHT PRESSURE
– Ensures the surface area of the tire tread is in contact with the road surface, increasing traction, braking performance, durability and safety.
OVER-INFLATION
– Causes the tire to be difficult to control and is susceptible to damage from external impacts.
– Causes abnormal wear similar to using too small rims.
– Reduces comfort and traction.
– Reduces tire life due to uneven tire wear.
– Causes the cable to be overstretched and oxidized, leading to damage to the casing.
How to determine the correct tire pressure?
- Tire pressure must be adjusted according to the actual load, speed and conditions of use.
- Choosing the correct tire pressure will ensure safe operation of the vehicle.
- The vehicle must be weighed on each axle, if the vehicle is fully loaded. You can use the “Standard tire pressure table according to the conditions of use” of the tire manufacturer.
- Regularly check the pressure when the tire is cold with an accurate pressure gauge and after the vehicle has returned to the parking lot.
- The valve cap plays an important role in holding the air and protecting the internal components of the valve. Extension or additional valve devices must be installed properly and are essential for double tire pressure checks.
