I rode a bike for decades before I ever owned a car, and until recently bike road tires were all designed to run at like 80psi and safely accept up to 100 (These days I run gravel tires at about 55). It took me a while to accept the fact that my car only wants 34.
The fact is that pressure is force per unit of surface. So your car tires are holding in a lot more force than your bike tires, even though the pressure is lower.
The max pressure printed on my tires is 6.5 bar.
The recommended pressure for the car is 4 bar.
I kind of want to know how it would drive at the tires’ max pressure.
But I don’t own a road, and I’m not going to try it in public traffic.The ride will be bumpier, and the tires will wear unevenly, but you will get better gas mileage.
Also, braking distance will be longer and traction will be worse.
This is somebody’s fetish i just know it
Look up “Testicular saline infusion.”
But, you know… Maybe not at work.
No thanks, I’m good.

Rule 34
I mean,
Woah… that’s a lot of inflation
quite litir(e)ally
that car picture can be seen as either thats the bottom or the top side. depending on which, the left right tires could mean in either side.
Though I’m not a car person and have never inspected cars bottom idk how it should look exactly
Car bottoms are just as valid as people bottoms!!
send card bottoms
with or without the dragons
there you go
Gotta say, those are nice.
They’ll kill Taylor Swift
Worth it.
I think you lot are confusing some other post? Did someone switch their post?
No. High tire pressure will blast the tyres, car go up high, hit Taylor plane, worth it, my honest erection.
Sorry, no get joke, get the feeling it’s an inside joke
nice erection0
You say that like theres a downside.
Always get your tires up to 100 persint!
I see a lot of these at my job. I refuse to touch them on the off chance draining air from them is what makes them realize they are so overfilled.
I guess you need to shoot it with an airgun
Still weird to see two random people be verified
Gotta get those Important Blue Internet Checkmarks™
My tire pressure actually looked like this when my car was delivered by Carvana.
Are you at low elevation? If your car came from high elevation it would have added a few pounds of pressure by the time it got down to you. Not 60 extra lbs obviously haha
That’s the opposite of how that works.
Tires are a gauge pressure, meaning pressure vs ambient pressure.
14.7 psia (absolute) at sea level. And getting less as you go higher elevation.
12.7psia ambient is ~4000ft elevation 10.7psia ambient is ~8500ft elevation
So if it you start at sea level with 40psig in your tires, when you get to 8500ft elevation and measure the tires you’ll be ~44psig.
If you start at 8500ft at 40psig, when you get to sea level they’ll be ~36psig.
Haha totally. You are correct.
Like Wonka says, “Switch that. Reverse it.”
