How to Use a Tire Pressure Gauge?
1 Answers
When using a tire pressure gauge, press the air nozzle connector firmly onto the tire valve stem to depress the valve core. The value displayed on the gauge is the tire pressure. During measurement, ensure the pressure gauge is properly aligned with the valve stem to prevent air leakage, as this can lead to inaccurate readings. Standard tire pressure values: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. When to adjust tire pressure: Generally, it is recommended to check tire pressure at least once a month and adjust it seasonally. The ideal times for adjustment are November and May. In November, as winter approaches, tire pressure typically decreases and may require slight adjustment. In May, as temperatures rise, check if the pressure is normal. Notably, if the tire pressure is within the standard range, do not intentionally reduce it. If the tires are not underinflated, monthly adjustments are unnecessary.
