Is the tire pressure of 2.2bar normal for Changan CS55?
2 Answers
Changan CS55 tire pressure of 2.2bar is not normal, as the tire pressure is low. The normal tire pressure for Changan CS55 should be within the range of 2.3 to 2.5bar. The effects of low tire pressure include: 1. Causing the steering wheel to feel heavy and prone to deviation, reducing driving safety; 2. Increased friction between the tire and the ground, leading to higher tire temperature, softening of the tire, and reduced strength; 3. Decreased functionality of the cords and rubber; 4. Increased deformation of the tire body, making the tire side prone to cracks. The dimensions of the Changan CS55 are: length 4500mm, width 1855mm, height 1690mm, with a wheelbase of 2650mm, a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, and a body weight of 1460kg.
I've been driving a Changan CS55 for several years, and tire pressure is something you really can't take lightly. The general recommended value is around 2.3 to 2.4 bar, depending mainly on the vehicle model and tire size. For example, with 18-inch wheels, the standard pressure is a bit higher. 2.2 bar is slightly on the low side, which might accelerate tire wear, make the ride feel a bit softer, and could increase fuel consumption by 5-10%. In the long run, it's not an ideal state. Measuring when cold is more accurate; it's best to check after the car has been parked overnight. The specific values are usually labeled on a sticker by the door—too high affects comfort, and too low increases risks like tire blowouts. Personally, I make it a habit to use a digital pressure gauge to check monthly, keeping it at the recommended value for peace of mind. If you don’t have the tools, you can always get a free check at a gas station. Safe driving depends on these small details, so don’t overlook them during regular maintenance.
