With summer just around the corner, let's try to understand what the right tire pressure is for our car.
Summer is coming and therefore summer holidays are also coming. The management of the car is a very important issue in terms of safety for all those who are preparing to make their summer holidays.
One of the most important aspects is certainly the tire pressure.
In fact, very often we do not pay attention to this particular aspect but it is one of the most important things in terms of safety.
Although technology has increased dramatically, there is nothing as important as knowing how to recognize a flat tire from a swollen one and understand the associated risks.
Technically, a tire should be checked every four weeks but on the eve of the summer holidays, it is always good to carry out an extra check.
If the tire is deflated , it can have very dangerous negative effects. The first is certainly the lengthening of the braking distance as well as obviously the wear of the rim and the edges of the tread.
It is also difficult to manage in the steering and moreover the most concrete risk is that it can explode. A flat tire also increases fuel consumption as there is greater contact between the tire and the road surface.
If, on the other hand, the tire is too swollen on the other hand , there is a clear reduction in the area of contact with the road. Driving comfort suffers and there is accelerated wear of the part in contact with the car.
Technically, the tires need to be inflated to about two or three bars.
The Bar is the unit of measurement for what concerns the inflation and pressure of the tires.
Unlike in the winter period , it is not necessary to increase by about 0.1 or 0.2 bar, as there is no pressure variation.
To carry out a correct measurement of the tire pressure, the advice is to go to any petrol station and ask to be able to carry out the inspection and possibly the inflation of the tires. To know which is the exact inflation unit of our car, we must observe the maintenance booklet.
Anyone who has a house or even a garage and has plenty of space can also buy a compressor and the so-called pressure gauge. This way we can avoid going to the gas station. We could therefore have the right pressure and be able to make our trips in total safety and total peace of mind.
These tips apply to any type of rubber and any brand. In fact, rubber management is indifferent whether the rubber is of excellent quality, but also whether it is of a second-level brand.
Our advice is to buy top-of-the-range brand tires because if we think about it for a moment, the tire is the only point of contact we have between our car and the asphalt.
In other words, our comfort and safety come first and foremost from the tires we mount on our favorite four-wheeler.
