What is the appropriate tire pressure for the Malibu?
2 Answers
The tire pressure for the Malibu is generally around 2kg to 2.5kg. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, it can be adjusted 0.1 to 0.2 lower than the normal value in summer and 0.1 to 0.2 higher than the normal value in winter. Check the tire pressure once a week, and inflate when it is found to be different from the conventional level. The full name of the Malibu is the Chevrolet Malibu. In terms of body size, the Malibu has a length, width, and height of 4855mm, 1854mm, and 1476mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2737mm. In terms of appearance, the Malibu's muscular hood highlights clean and dynamic lines, while the classic dual-element taillights combined with the muscular wheel arches fully showcase the style of an American coupe.
I've been driving a Chevrolet Malibu for several years, and tire pressure is quite important. Generally, a range of 32-35 PSI is reasonable, depending on the model year. For example, my 2020 model recommends 35 PSI. I prefer checking tire pressure when the car is cold, using a simple pressure gauge. Remember not to check right after driving, as the pressure won't be accurate when the tires are hot. Why am I so particular about this? Because incorrect tire pressure leads to faster tire wear, cutting their lifespan in half, and reduces grip, making it easier to skid when driving on highways in the rain. Once, I forgot to check, and the pressure dropped to 28 PSI—my fuel consumption suddenly spiked, costing me an extra hundred bucks in gas over a month. Now, I check once a month and take advantage of free air at gas stations—super convenient. In winter, tire pressure tends to drop more easily, so keep an eye on it. Always refer to the label on the door jamb or the manual—don't just guess.
