What is the appropriate tire pressure for a Skoda Superb?
2 Answers
The recommended tire pressure for a Skoda Superb is generally 2.5 bar for the front tires and 2.9 bar for the rear tires. However, the exact tire pressure should be based on the manufacturer's recommended values. Tire pressure standards: Automotive tire pressure depends on seasonal weather conditions, vehicle weight, and tire wear. Factors such as the inflation gas, the load the tires bear, etc., can all affect usage. For specific details, it's best to refer to the vehicle's manual and also consider the tire's wear condition. How to find the standard pressure: The standard tire pressure can usually be found in the vehicle's user manual, on the label near the driver's side door (by the B-pillar), in the drawer next to the driver's seat, or on the fuel tank cap door.
Having driven a Superb for seven or eight years, I highly recommend inflating the tires to 2.3-2.5 bar when the car is cold. Remember to check the label on the door frame before driving, as different model years may have it marked near the fuel tank cap. Before my last long trip, I inflated to the fully loaded recommended value of 2.6 bar, and I clearly felt the fuel consumption drop but the bumpiness increased. Check tire pressure at least once a month, as it may drop by 0.1 bar for every 10-degree temperature decrease—remember to adjust in winter and summer. Also, keep the spare tire inflated to 4.2 bar just in case. The 215/55 R16 tires that come with this car are too stiff; below 2.0 bar, the tire noise becomes particularly loud, and the sidewalls are prone to cracking.
