Hi all,
The 'ding2' sound means the air in the tyre is as much as what was
programmed when you first started. However if you started at 3000
psi then off course your tyres will explode. BTW 'psi' stands for
pounds per square inch. That figure for our tyres is usually about
20-23 psi say. The metric equiivalent is 220 or 230 kps. If you
check your tyres in a SPCstation you can see the difference as
their pumps have 2 measurements. If you are travelling north to
Msia, ie driving for hours on the N-S expressway, then you might
increase it by 5-10%.
But remember that overinflated tyres provide better fc and grip in
turning. they also 'burst' rapidly and are a bit more difficult to
control in the event it 'bursts'. Underinflated tyres give a higher
fc but when they 'burst' will be much easier to control when
driving. So don't overdo it either way. All my comments are subject
to confirmation by the TC mechanics on Sat.
Have you seen your spare tyre?. It meant to be used only at slow
speeds and on a temporary basis, eg not over 50 kms
For those who are interested knowing how to change their tyres, I
suggest they meet earlier on Sat and arrange for a volunteer. It's
dead simple.
