How Often Should Passenger Car Tires Be Inflated?

[DiNorah]

Passenger car tires should be inflated every six months. Methods to extend tire lifespan are as follows: 1. Develop the habit of regularly checking tire pressure: Air pressure is crucial for extending tire life. If tire pressure frequently exceeds the normal level by 20%, tire lifespan will decrease by 10%; if it's often 30% below normal pressure, tire lifespan will be reduced by 52%. 2. Maintain consistent air pressure: Tire pressure is vital to tire longevity. Insufficient pressure increases tire body deformation, leading to cracks on the tire sidewalls, excessive heat generation, rubber aging, fatigue in the cord ply, and cord breakage. 3. Regularly remove foreign objects from tires: While driving, small stones often get lodged in the tread grooves. If not promptly removed, these stones can eventually puncture the tire, causing air leaks or blowouts.
