How much tire pressure should a car have in summer?
1 Answers
According to the season, the general tire pressure in summer is 2.3kg for the front tires and 2.5kg for the rear tires; in winter, it's 2.5kg for the front tires and 2.7kg for the rear tires. The exact values may vary slightly depending on the vehicle model and style. It is necessary to refer to the standard tire pressure chart on the car. The standard tire pressure chart can usually be found in the following places: the vehicle user manual, the label near the driver's door (near the B-pillar), the drawer next to the driver's seat, or the fuel tank cap door. Excessive tire pressure: If the tire pressure is too high and significantly exceeds the standard pressure, the tire's friction and adhesion will decrease, affecting braking performance, causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, and reducing driving comfort. At the same time, it accelerates the wear of the central tread pattern, shortens the tire's lifespan, increases body vibration, and indirectly affects the lifespan of other components. Insufficient tire pressure: If the tire pressure is too low and significantly below the standard pressure, it increases the friction coefficient between the tire and the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. It also makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, among other factors that are detrimental to driving safety. Insufficient tire pressure increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling.
