just to comfirm: does 36 psi means 360 on SG tyre pump at petrol koisk???

[Nhrisuzu]

PSI don't equal KPA... u sure ur tyre can take 360 kpa??

[Elfenstar]

36psi is roughly 250kpa (248 to be exact).

[Evildoer]

32 PSI (220 KPA) is the further I'll go.

 

Anything more than that makes my harsh ride even more harsh.

[Evildoer]

but is their any other detrimental effect if u pump in more air than u should for ur car beside bumpier ride??

If you over-pump, you'll wear out the tyre threads near to the middle faster.

-ur CG goes up..

-tyre thread will be worn out more in the middle..

-u are exposing urself to danger of a burst tyre if u drive for very very very long..

-ur pickup might be slightly better and less sluggish due to lesser resistance on tyres..
