What happens if you over inflate your tire by half them put down to correct pressure?
Nothing, If you drive on over inflated tires they wil tend to wear in the middle and not on the outsides///if you inflate tires higher than the maximum pressure marked on it the tire could blow up and injure or kill you so be careful
When a tire is under inflated what part of the tire grips the road?
When a tire is properly inflated it will be level to the ground. Over inflated and the middle of the tire has the most pressure on the ground. Under inflated and the sides of the tire have the most pressure on the ground.
What is the right time to fill air in different tires of different vehicles in summer?
You should check your tires regularly. If your tires are properly inflated with no leaks your tire pressure should not drop much over time. Some people wait until oil changes to have their pressure checked, and this is usually often enough. Others check every time they get fuel.
Why do your back tires bounce up and down at 80 kph on a 98 ford windstar?
tires bounce either because the shock absorbers are trashed or you have the tires over inflated
Is the air pressure the same in bicycle tires and car tires and why would it be different?
It is not the same, as car tires contain much greater volumes of air. The same amount of air that would raise the pressure slightly on a car tire could over-inflate a bike tire. Motorcycle tires typically fall in the middle of these tire sizes. A car tire contains a greater VOLUME of air at a lower PRESSURE. A bicycle tire has a lesser VOLUME of air at a GREATER PRESSURE. Some bicycle tires can be inflated to well over 90 PSI. The tires on my touring bike are inflated to 75 PSI. That's WELL over what should be in most passenger car tires. Some things to remember: When looking for the correct tire pressure for an automobile DO NOT go by what's printed on the tire, that is the MAXIMUM PRESSURE FOR MAXIMUM LOAD! YOU CAN CAUSE A BLOW-OUT BY INFLATING YOUR CAR TIRES INCORRECTLY! There is usually a sticker on the driver's side door jamb that tells what the pressure should be. OR CHECK THE OWNERS MANUAL Be sure to CHECK THE PRESSURE WHEN THE TIRE IS COLD! Oddly enough the CORRECT pressure, or range of pressures, is printed on the side wall of most all bike tires. It's important to check for the correct tire pressure on your bike to avoid "pinch" flats and to protect the rims and tires. It's normal for both car and bike tires to lose pressure if they are left standing for any time.
How much air do you have to put to the tires for a 2000 geo prizm?
The correct air pressure for tires is on a placard on the drivers door. The number that is on a tire itself is the maximum pressure that should be put into a tire, a tire should never be filled to this amount. Being up to 4 psi over the recommended pressure on the door will slightly improve gas mileage and usually improve handling. Typically tires should be inflated to around 35 psi.
Will over inflated tires cause vibration?
Yes, over-inflation can cause vibration. It will also cause harsh ride, tires will wear in the center of the tire, and handling and stopping will be adversely effected. Never over-inflate your tires. Follow the vehicle manufacture's recommendations.
How do you make the tires on your car last?
Have your tires rotated and balanced every 5000 miles. Check air pressures regularly so exterior or interior wear does not occur depending on if the tires are over inflated or under inflated. Manufacture recommended tire pressures can be found within the door jam or in the owners manual.
How does having the proper tire pressure in your tire affect the envoriment?
First, your car gets the best gas mileage with properly inflated tires. That means less pollution produced and less gasoline consumed. Second, tires wear out faster when under or over inflated. Making tires costs many different resources and adds pollution to the environment. Disposing of old tires also adds pollutants to the environment. Finally, if your tires are not properly inflated you are more likely to get into an accident due to inefficient braking and steering. If you get in an accident resources will have to be used to help you and others. Your car may also leak pollutants such as gasoline, antifreeze, and oil if it is involved in an accident.
What is the most common result of driving with an under inflated tire?
The most common result is uneven wear of the tires and tread. Over inflation will cause more wear in the center of the tire while under inflation will cause the outside tread to wear faster. Depending on how much it is under inflated, it could "eat" into your sidewalls if it is really low. Tire inflation also alters your driving performance, handling, and along with increasing gas mileage. Under inflation affects gas mileage because of drag (meaning slow it down) which will make the engine work harder to maintain speed. Try riding a bike with flat tires to see what I mean... haha. The performance and handling is degraded because and under inflated tire will "lean" and roll over itself in turns and increase the sway factor (which may cause you to slide).- Under inflated tires cause your engine to work harder; which means you increase the possibility of your engine blowing out sooner than it's supposed to.- Tires that are under inflated have a huge impact on steering & handling of your vehicle.- If your tires just so happen to squeal when you're turning a corner, that might mean that your tires have low pressure.- Even if your Used Tire is low in pressure, you wouldn't be able to tell; which is why it's important to monitor your tire pressure frequently.- Under inflated tires happens to be the leading cause of tire failure; it lead to tire stress, irregular tread wear, & even causes you to have less control if you regrettably get into an accident.- I think that the most important thing is that when you have tires that are under inflated, you waste more gas.The tire will wear on the outside edge of the tire. Vehicle will also handle poorly and get less mpg.
Is it more dangerous for automobile owners to put too much air in the tires in summer or in winter?
It is dangerous to over inflate tires at the end of winter because they could be damaged more easily. Over inflated tires can be damaged going over potholes or leftover debris in the roadways.
What causes a tire to blowout?
A blowout can be caused by a number of things, low pressure, hitting a rock or piece of metal, running over screws or nails, hitting a curb, or even cornering to fast with low inflation. Always make sure your tires are inflated properly and have no bumps.
