How to Check the Tire Pressure Label?
2 Answers
Tire pressure labels can be checked in the following ways: 1. Vehicle owner's manual; 2. Label near the B-pillar of the driver's side door; 3. Drawer next to the driver's seat; 4. Fuel tank cap door. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and the level of tire pressure plays a significant role in the performance and power of the vehicle. The effects of excessive tire pressure are: 1. Reduced friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan. The effects of insufficient tire pressure are: 1. Increases the friction coefficient with the road surface; 2. Makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation; 3. Increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heat generation due to excessive rolling.
Having driven for over a decade, I find tire pressure indicators in quite common locations. The simplest method is to check the inner side of the driver's door frame—just crouch down after opening the door, and you'll usually spot a white label indicating the recommended pressure values (like PSI or bar) for front and rear tires. If it's not there, the inside of the fuel filler cap often has relevant instructions. Don’t forget to flip to the tire section at the back of the user manual, which explains the values in detail. Overinflation accelerates wear on the center of the tire and makes the ride bumpy, while underinflation increases the risk of blowouts and fuel consumption. I check the pressure monthly with a gauge, especially during seasonal changes when temperature fluctuations easily affect tire pressure. Since adopting this habit, my tires last longer, highway driving feels more secure, and it saves money while enhancing safety.
