How often should new car tires be inflated?
2 Answers
Car tires generally need to be inflated every 1 to 2 months. About tires: 1. When the tire is already in a state of severe underinflation, the tire wall cannot get the proper support, which not only increases fuel consumption but also increases the tilt when turning, and there is a higher risk of overheating and tire blowout during high-speed driving. 2. During the use of tires, tire pressure is a very important indicator. It is necessary to ensure that the tire pressure matches the manufacturer's required pressure, otherwise, whether the tire pressure is too high or too low, it will cause great damage to the tire's lifespan.
How often should I inflate the tires on a new car? This question is crucial from a safety perspective. As someone who drives frequently, I recommend checking the tire pressure at least once a month. Although new car tires come with perfect factory pressure, they naturally lose air over time. This is especially true during seasonal changes when temperature differences cause tire pressure to fluctuate. For example, tire pressure tends to be lower in winter and higher in summer. Taking just two minutes to check with a home pressure gauge before driving can prevent risks. I’ve also heard from friends that prolonged underinflation can cause uneven tire wear, shorten lifespan, and increase fuel consumption. Safety comes first—regular checks can prevent blowouts or loss of control. Once it becomes a habit, it’s as natural as brushing your teeth and saves you from expensive repairs.
