What is the appropriate tire pressure for a Volkswagen Lavida?
1 Answers
The appropriate tire pressure for a Volkswagen Lavida is 2.3-2.5 bar. Here are some details: Both overinflation and underinflation can shorten the lifespan of the tires. 1. Underinflation increases tire deformation, leading to sidewall cracks, excessive heat buildup, rubber aging, increased contact area, and accelerated shoulder wear. 2. Overinflation causes excessive stretching of the tire cords, reduces tire elasticity, and increases the load on the vehicle while driving. Additional information: There is no fixed standard value for tire pressure. If categorized seasonally, summer tire pressure typically ranges between 2.2-2.5 bar, while in winter, it is advisable to increase the standard tire pressure by approximately 0.2 bar. However, as temperatures and road surface temperatures rise, especially during high-speed or long-distance driving, tire pressure can easily increase, increasing the risk of a blowout. For safety, it is recommended to stop and reduce the pressure in such situations.
