What is the appropriate tire pressure for the Verano?

[EmmaFitz]

The normal tire pressure range for the Verano is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. If you want to check the current tire pressure of your Verano during daily driving, you can activate the tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure value will be displayed on the central LCD screen of the instrument panel. The specific method is: press the button on the right side of the steering wheel, select the information column interface, scroll down to find the tire pressure monitoring information, and then you can view the specific tire pressure value. Generally speaking, a tire pressure above 2.8 bar is considered too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: The friction and adhesion of the tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; it can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; it accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing tire lifespan; it increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; it causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: The friction coefficient with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; it makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; it increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; it reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; the friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may lead to a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol, an irregular circle without a seal on top, with four small spikes at the bottom and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. At this time, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are needed. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to come on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will also come on. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.

During my experience driving the Verano, I've summarized some tire pressure tips. The standard tire pressure for this car typically ranges between 2.4 and 2.5 bar, with specific values marked on the driver's side door frame or fuel tank cap. I check weekly using a portable tire pressure gauge. Under-inflation makes steering heavier and accelerates tire wear, while over-inflation compromises comfort with noticeable bumps when crossing speed bumps. In summer heat, I maintain 2.4 bar to prevent thermal expansion blowouts, whereas in winter I adjust to 2.6 bar when cold to compensate for reduced thermal expansion. Before long trips, I pay special attention to balancing all four tires - adding 0.1 bar to rear tires when fully loaded to maintain even contact patches for optimal fuel efficiency and safety. Don't forget the spare tire pressure either; inspect unused spares at least twice annually.

From a safety perspective, tire pressure must be precise. The recommended value for the Verano is around 35 psi, and deviations exceeding 10% pose potential hazards. Insufficient tire pressure causes excessive sidewall deformation leading to overheating, which may result in sudden blowouts during high-speed driving; overinflation reduces the tire's contact area with the road, increasing the risk of skidding and loss of control on wet surfaces. I make it a habit to measure tire pressure twice a month using a professional gauge, as readings are more accurate when the tires are cold. If an abnormal drop in pressure is detected on one side, immediately check for punctures like nails. Tires must be replaced if tread depth falls below 1.6mm. Regular wheel alignment and balancing also extend tire lifespan—after all, no advanced safety feature can compensate for four healthy tires.

The most noticeable experience when driving the Verano is that tire pressure directly affects fuel consumption. Experiments show that for every 0.3bar below the standard tire pressure, fuel consumption increases by 0.5 liters per 100 kilometers. I insist on maintaining the factory-recommended 2.5bar, especially during highway driving, as low tire pressure can increase rolling resistance by 20%. The onboard TPMS monitoring is very practical; when tire temperature exceeds 50 degrees, it's necessary to find a safe area to cool down. No adjustments are needed for daily short commutes, but the natural monthly tire pressure loss of about 0.1bar requires timely replenishment. Remember to check the spare tire pressure, with the cold tire value ideally around 3.0bar. Developing the habit of checking tire pressure while refueling is the most hassle-free approach, saving money and avoiding accidents.
