Do Car Tires Need Inflating in Winter?
1 Answers
Winter tires require inflation. Below is an introduction to winter tires: Adjusting tire pressure in winter: In winter, it is advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. Properly adjusting tire pressure ensures the safety of tire usage during winter. Due to lower temperatures in winter, the tire pressure may decrease due to thermal contraction. However, the pressure should not be too high, as excessive pressure can reduce the friction between the tires and the ground, leading to decreased braking effectiveness. Refer to the car maintenance manual for appropriate tire pressure adjustments to avoid malfunctions and compromised driving safety caused by abnormal tire pressure in winter. Winter tire maintenance: Monitor tire pressure regularly; inspect tire conditions before driving; promptly remove debris from tires; pay attention to driving habits.
