Long driving at speeds up to 140 km/h (if the current traffic regulations allow such a speed), keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressure for the tire type and size. If the vehicle is used regularly at speeds above 140 km/h, it is necessary to install tires of the appropriate speed category on the vehicle, which can be purchased from tire dealers.
The air pressure in a warm tire may increase by 41 kPa compared to a cold tire.
Exceeding the recommended air pressure in tires leads to the following consequences:
- Deterioration of ride and ride comfort.
- Tire carcass damage.
- Rapid tread wear in the center of the tread.
Insufficient air pressure in tires leads to the following consequences:
- Tire screeching when cornering.
- Increased effort on the steering wheel.
Rapid and uneven wear of the tread along the edges of the treadmill.
- Damage to the wheel rim and tire shell.
- Cord breakage.
- Tire overheating.
- Decreased vehicle handling.
- Deterioration in fuel economy.
Different air pressures in tires mounted on the same axle can cause the following:
- Car pull when braking due to difference in braking forces.
- Deterioration in control.
- Car pull during acceleration.
- The constant moment on the steering wheel when the car is moving in a straight line.
Attention: The use of fast-penetrating compounds is not always effective when it is difficult to dismantle the wheel. However, if such products have to be applied, care must be taken to ensure that they are applied in small quantities and only directly in the vicinity of the central hole of the wheel. The ingress of fast-penetrating compounds on the contact plane between the wheel and the hub or brake drum can lead to loosening of the wheel mounting bolts while the vehicle is moving.
