Does Uneven Tire Pressure Affect the Car?

[LaKyle]

Inconsistent tire pressure values can lead to reduced braking effectiveness, difficulty or heaviness in steering, and increased fuel consumption. Below are detailed guidelines for adjusting car tire pressure: 1. Rough Roads: On roads with significant bumps, it's advisable to slightly reduce the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2bar below the standard tire pressure. For long-distance high-speed driving, tire pressure should not be too low; instead, it's better to increase it by about 0.2bar above the standard tire pressure's lower limit. 2. New vs. Old Tires: For new tires, the pressure can be increased by about 0.2bar above the standard. For old tires, it's appropriate to slightly decrease the pressure according to the standard; if the tires are severely worn, use the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. 3. Summer vs. Winter: In winter, it's recommended to increase the tire pressure by about 0.2bar above the standard. In summer, use the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. For cars parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1bar below the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures.
