Wind Pressure on The Tires

Have we noticed the air pressure in our tires?, Actually wind pressure on the tires is one element that is important, because with the pressure of the wind is right and proper then the tire will perform optimally. As we know that the tire is one component of which is vital in a vehicle, more than just a comfort factor, the condition of the tires on the vehicle effect on safety when driving.

Actually the size standard appropriate wind pressure for every vehicle had been set by each the manufacturers. Tire pressure is usually defined in psi or in kilograms per cubic centimeter (kg/cm3). Tire pressure not to lack or excess. If a car tire pressure is less, will tire easily damaged on the sides due to heat caused by friction with the road surface. In addition, transport capacity was reduced and the vehicle will be wasteful of fuel.
Do check tire pressure measuring devices regularly, at least once every two weeks or when the vehicle will be brought long distances. Checking tire pressure when tires should be done in a cold state (not yet used car or walking less than 1.6 km.) Let the tire temperature down first when new vehicles have been used. Size of tire pressure will not be appropriate when the tire is high temperature. This is because the automatic tire pressure increases as the temperature inside the tire increases.As the car carrying an extra load or travel long distances, tire pressure should be added. Increased air pressure to 4 psi higher than the general standard can still be tolerated. Make sure your car tires have a closed valve is installed correctly. Close the valve usually has a rubber valve that helps prevent wind out, in addition to prevent dirt and moist air into the tire.

  1. Tire pressure is really important considering you have a long trip to go. With the thing you could know about tires, this is one important part.
