Can you drive on 15 psi?

Can you drive on 15 psi?

Probably not. Unless the tire is rated for 15 PSI you are probably risking destroying the tire or sidewall. Look at max pressure printed on the side of tire, subtract about 4# and inflate to that amount.

Is 10 psi over too much?

For you, 10 percent would be a little less than 30 psi. Higher pressure generally is not dangerous, as long as you stay well below the “maximum inflation pressure.” That number is listed on each sidewall, and is much higher than your “recommended tire pressure” of 33 psi, Gary.

How long can you drive with tire light on?

What happens if you over inflate bicycle tires?

The higher pressure makes the bike feel fast but may actually be slowing you down! If the tire is too hard it will have a tendency to vibrate and bounce which increases rolling resistance and makes for an uncomfortable ride.

Can I drive with low tire pressure light on?

Low tire pressure not only lowers gas mileage, it can be dangerous on the road. Driving with low tire pressure is strongly discouraged. If you must drive on tires with low air pressure, use caution and replace or repair the tire or tires as soon as possible.
