On the other hand, an overinflated tire will cause accelerated wear on the center portion
of the tire resulting in uneven tire wear. It would also result in a harsher ride and makes
the tire more susceptible to damage when going over potholes or debris on the road.
What is the optimum tire pressure? There are a lot of information about this subject in
internet forums and web articles. A quick guide for better understanding of tire pressure
below:-
1) Vehicle manufacturers recommend the optimum tire pressure for their vehicle
models. The information is usually available on a sticker at the door jamb (side of
the driver’s door) or in the owner’s manual. For some vehicle models, the
information sticker may be on the trunk lid or on the fuel door. Vehicle
manufacturers usually recommend different tire pressure for front and rear tires.
This pressure is usually recommended for comfort driving and optimum
performance of the vehicle. It is not advisable to go below this recommended
pressure level.
2) The vehicle manufacturer recommended tire pressure is “cold pressure”. When
you drive your vehicle to the gas station, the friction on the road will heat up your
vehicle tires within a few minutes. Typically there will be 1psi (7kPa) increase in
air pressure for every 10
o
C (50
o
F) increase in tire temperature. It is advisable to
inflate the tire pressure with this compensated pressure above the recommended
pressure.
3) Air pressure in tires is affected by changes in temperature. Check and adjust your
tire pressure whenever there is a drastic change in environment temperature, eg.
change of season.
4) A tire will normally lose its pressure through natural causes unless accelerated by
a puncture, faulty valve or damaged wheels. It is advisable to change the tire
valves or at least check the valves condition every time you change a new set of
tires. Under normal condition, a set of tires could deflate at a rate of up to 2psi per
month. It is good practice to check your tire pressure regularly and top up to the
optimum pressure.
5) Every vehicle tire has a maximum inflation pressure. It is not advisable to inflate
to the maximum inflation pressure of the tire. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended tire pressure instead.
