What is the general tire pressure for sedans?
2 Answers
The standard tire pressure for sedans is generally between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. Here is some relevant information about sedan tire pressure: 1. Observe the tire condition before driving: Radial tires, commonly known as low-pressure tires, are normal as long as the aspect ratio is not too low. If you press the tire with your foot and feel strong elasticity rather than softness, it is normal. High-pressure tires are bias-ply tires with inner tubes. From the front view, if the tire shoulder does not protrude (commonly known as "not bulging"), and from the side view, the contact area with the ground is similar to usual, it is normal. 2. Pay attention to the sound of tire friction with the ground: While driving, listen to the sound of tire friction with the ground, feel the cushioning force when passing rough roads, and observe whether the acceleration during acceleration is different from usual. These are all experiences accumulated over time.
I remember when I first started driving, a mechanic told me that the normal tire pressure for regular cars is generally between 2.3 and 2.5 bar, which converts to about 32 to 35 PSI in the commonly used unit. My car's manual recommends 2.4 bar, so I usually maintain that value. Why is it so important? If the tire pressure is too low, the car will feel sluggish, the braking distance will increase, and accidents are more likely to occur; if it's too high, the tires will wear out faster and may even burst. I make it a habit to check the pressure every two weeks using the free air pressure gauge at gas stations. Checking when the car is cold, like in the morning before heading out, gives more accurate readings. Never inflate based on feeling—always check the owner's manual because each car model is designed differently. Once, I neglected this, and the tire pressure dropped to 2.2 bar, causing my car's fuel consumption to rise by 10%, costing me unnecessary money. Regularly checking this small detail can truly save both peace of mind and safety.
