Tire pressure and maintenance

[mazdamazda]

what happens if you inflate your tire to the recommended tire pressure (when with cargo) and then use your vehicle with no cargo?

in my experience matalbog ang ride

imagine just coming out of the edsa crossing underpass then you hit the patches of asphalted section of edsa before coming to pioneer-boni

every screw/joint/section of car all of a sudden had a life of its own

pero sa skyway/NLE feels ok

If you dont have the original owner's manual, you might try checking near the inside portion of the vehicle's body by the driver's door. There should be a sticker that indicates the original size of tire of the vehicle as well as the recommended air pressure as specified by the manufacturer. Btw, if your vehicle is from Subic or not locally marketed/manufactured, check the right side of the vehicle instead because. that is the original driver's side in Japan.

I just do the chalk test. I cover a portion of my tire threads in white chalk and then drive it over a flat surface. If it leaves a nice even mark then it's inflated properly, if the outside threads show but the middle are lighter or don't appear then it's underinflated, if the middle shows but the edges do not then it's overinflated. I then check the psi on all 4 tires and all 4 are usually in close range.

is it better to run underinflated than inflating just right?

eg... 30psi compared to 34psi.... for AUV....

may naka pag sabi sa akin... mas hindi daw pressured ang gulong.... is this true?

In most cases, it's not good to run with under-inflated tires. Tires are designed to withstand pressure that are higher than the stated inflation specs so if you run the proper tire pressure then it should be fine.

Under-inflated tires also cause:
- poor steering response, handling, and braking performance
- shorter tire thread life
- possible damage (i.e. bukol) when you hit a bad pothole or road debris due to more flexing on the sidewall which may cause the steel ply to break
- possible lower fuel economy
- Tires can heat up faster during extended runs.

either over or under inflation of tires will definitely make your tires wear faster.
