What is the Appropriate Tire Pressure for Cars in Cold Weather?
1 Answers
In winter, the most suitable tire pressure for cars is between 2.5 and 2.8 pa. Due to thermal contraction and expansion, it is generally advisable to slightly increase tire pressure during cold weather. Steps to Increase Tire Pressure: When inflating tires, choose a time when the tires have completely cooled down after the vehicle has been parked. Avoid inflating immediately after driving, as the friction from rolling generates heat, raising tire temperature and internal pressure, which can affect the accuracy of inflation. Before inflating, clean any dirt or dust from the valve stem. Try not to loosen or remove the valve core during inflation, and avoid forcing air in by increasing pressure excessively to prevent the valve from loosening and leaking. After inflation, apply water to the valve stem to check for leaks, tightening or replacing the valve core if necessary. Always replace the valve cap securely to prevent dirt from entering the valve. Monitor the pressure gauge on the air pump closely and inflate strictly according to the standard tire pressure values. If overinflated, release some air. The VICTRONIC T800 portable air compressor not only features a built-in light and pressure gauge for quick inflation, easy portability, and storage, but also includes a tire pressure monitoring function for regular checks and timely inflation when pressure is low.
