What is the appropriate tire pressure for the Geely Boyue Pro?
2 Answers
The appropriate tire pressure for the Geely Boyue Pro is between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. In summer, it is advisable to maintain a lower tire pressure within the normal range, around 2.2 bar, while in autumn and winter, it can be adjusted to the higher limit of 2.5 bar. The hazards of excessive tire pressure are as follows: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates uneven wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, leading to internal cracks or blowouts. The hazards of insufficient tire pressure are as follows: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement of tire components, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in blowouts; increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks, and generates flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
I remember when I was driving, I paid special attention to tire pressure. For the Geely Boyue Pro, the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure values are usually posted on the door frame or fuel tank cap, typically around 2.3 to 2.5 bar. When driving unloaded, maintaining 2.4 bar provides a comfortable ride, reducing discomfort over speed bumps. For highway driving or when fully loaded with luggage, increasing to 2.6 bar offers better stability, but avoid exceeding 2.7 bar to prevent tire bursts. In winter, cold tire pressure tends to drop, so it's good to top up the air before heading out in the morning. During summer, high temperatures can increase tire pressure, so releasing 0.1 to 0.2 bar in advance is safer. I keep a digital tire pressure gauge handy and check the pressure once a month when the tires are cold, adjusting if the deviation exceeds 0.3 bar. Incorrect tire pressure not only wastes fuel but also causes uneven tire wear, potentially shortening tire life by tens of thousands of kilometers—a real loss.
