While driving, you may sometimes encounter low tire pressure, and finding a place to inflate your tires can be difficult. Therefore, many car owners carry a portable, in-car air pump so they can use it whenever needed.
An air pump, also known as a tire inflator or tire pump, is a tool used to inflate car tires. When using an air pump, pay attention to the tire pressure adjustment and settings, and closely monitor the pressure gauge readings. It’s best to learn some safe operating procedures for air pumps to avoid accidents during inflation.
Tire pressure is crucial for motorcycles. The standard tire pressure values are listed in the vehicle’s owner’s manual. Both excessively high and excessively low tire pressure will shorten the lifespan of the tires!
All car tires need to maintain a certain tire pressure, and run-flat tires are no exception. The recommended tire pressure for run-flat tires is similar to that of regular tires, around 2.2-2.5 bar. In winter, the pressure can be increased by 0.2 bar, and in summer, decreased by 0.1 bar. While it’s possible to continue driving if run-flat tires have abnormal pressure, it’s generally not recommended. Both excessively low and high tire pressure can affect normal driving and even create safety hazards. It’s usually best to ensure the tire pressure is normal before driving.
