How to Adjust the Tire Pressure?

Nowadays, every family owns a car. We usually check the condition of the car before driving, but in the process of daily driving, we tend to ignore the problem of tire pressure, which leads to more serious accidents in many times. So how to adjust the tire pressure?

Tire Pressure Problems

Among the neglected tire pressure problems, the most common one is the problem of too high and too low tire pressure. If the tire pressure is too high, the friction and adhesion of the car tire will be correspondingly reduced, and at the same time, it may be easier to blow out. If the tire pressure is too low, although the tire will not blow out, there are still many problems. It will not only be easy to run off the road and other factors that are not good for driving safety, but also cause certain damage to the tire.

The Correct Way to Adjust Tire Pressure

So, to what extent do we want to adjust the tire pressure? Each car will match the size of the tire according to its own weight, which means that since the specifications of the tire change with the weight of the car. So the tire pressure also change with the specifications of the car. In short, the cars with different configurations are likely to have different tire pressure standards. And this standard we can found under the B-pillar on the side of the driver's door, or on the fuel tank cap, or in the manual. It is marked with the tire pressure standard of the car, so just follow those instructions. The tire pressure can be checked by the tire pressure monitoring system.

For example, the common tire pressure is 2.5, which represents 250 kPa, and the main basis for its reference is based on the maximum bearing range indicated by the tire, while the general tires have a maximum bearing range of 300 kPa. And the car's tire pressure will directly affect the car's driving texture and its sense of security. In summer, it may cause thermal expansion and contraction due to air. The tire pressure can generally be controlled between 2.3 and 2.4, but it cannot exceed 2.5. Because the tire pressure will increase with the increase of the temperature.

If the actual tire pressure is a few points higher than the previous one, then it is very prone to blow out. So when the seasons alternate, remember to pay more attention to the tire pressure, if necessary, you can completely lower it. When each type of vehicle is shipped from the factory, the manufacturer will specify the standard tire pressure value. 

The function of the tire pressure monitor system is to monitor the tire pressure and interior temperature in real time on the driving course and raise the alarm to avoid accidents when high-pressure, low-pressure or high-temperature occurs. 

The tire pressure plays an important role in the performance and power of automobile. It is of great practical significance for driving safety to know the tire pressure situation in advance and take effective preventive measures in time.
