Should I Inflate My Tires to 2.2 Bar in Autumn?

You should inflate your tires to 2.2 bar in autumn. Winter temperatures are relatively low, and due to thermal expansion and contraction, tire pressure will also change. Generally, the normal range for tire pressure is around 2.5 bar, which is suitable for regular use. However, as winter approaches, the tire pressure should be increased slightly. Typically, adjusting it to 2.6 bar is the most appropriate and safest range. Tire pressure standards for different types of tires: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Normal tire pressure in winter: In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2 bar. Normal tire pressure in summer: Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure for car tires is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures.
Whether the tire pressure of 2.2 bar in autumn needs to be inflated depends on the recommended value for your vehicle. I usually drive very steadily and pay special attention to safety details. The label on the car or the manual has the standard tire pressure, generally between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. 2.2 is slightly low, which may lead to unstable handling, such as shaking when turning; insufficient tire pressure also increases the risk of a flat tire, especially when driving on highways, which is more prone to accidents. I suggest first accurately measuring with a tire pressure gauge, then adjusting to the recommended value—safety first. By the way, develop the habit of checking tire pressure with seasonal changes, don’t find it troublesome.
