Should I release air from new car tires with a pressure of 3.3?

It is necessary to release air from new car tires with a pressure of 3.3. When the tire pressure is too high, driving on bumpy roads or over speed bumps can reduce comfort, so it is recommended to lower the pressure to 2.5. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. After hearing a "beep" sound, release the button. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. What to do if the tire pressure is insufficient: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tires to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If upon inspection the tire is found to be punctured, drive to a tire shop promptly for repair, then reinflate the tire. If the tire pressure warning reappears some time after inflation but there is no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is advisable to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary.
As a car enthusiast, I've noticed that excessive tire pressure is a common issue. New cars often leave the factory with tire pressure set above 3.3 bar to prevent deformation during transportation, but this absolutely requires deflation! The normal range is generally between 2.2 to 2.8 bar (check door frame label or manual for specifics). Too high pressure increases the risk of blowouts, causes rapid center tread wear, makes driving uncomfortable, and wastes fuel costs. Safety first - I recommend taking immediate action: use a tire pressure gauge to measure cold tire pressure, then slowly deflate to standard values. Remember tire pressure tends to run higher in hot weather, and can be slightly higher in winter but don't overdo it. Monthly tire pressure checks can save repair costs - investing in a good tire pressure gauge brings big returns for small cost. Don't delay - unstable pressure during high-speed driving could cause major trouble.
