What is the general tire pressure for sedans?

[MacNolan]

Sedan tire pressure: Generally, the front tires are slightly lower than the rear tires. Whether in winter or summer, the front tires should be between 2.2 to 2.3, and the rear tires between 2.4 to 2.5. As long as it is maintained within this range, it is acceptable. You can also refer to the car's user manual, which provides clear regulations on the tire pressure for the specific vehicle. Different cars may have slight variations. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and engine damage will lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car.

My car's tire pressure is maintained between 2.3 and 2.5 bar year-round, which is the standard value printed on the door frame sticker. During the last maintenance, the mechanic used a tire pressure gauge and suggested lowering it to 2.3 in summer for highway driving to avoid blowouts, while in winter, it's best to increase it to 2.5 when the car is cold for better tire grip. I remember last month when the tire pressure was at 2.0, the steering wheel felt noticeably heavier, and fuel consumption increased by half a liter. After inflating the tires, the car felt much lighter. I always keep a digital display air pump in the trunk, which makes it convenient to check the pressure monthly. It's safest to keep the pressure difference among all four tires within 0.1 bar.

After working in the repair shop for a long time, I noticed a pattern: German cars generally require over 2.8 bar, while Japanese cars mostly suffice with 2.3 bar. Last week, when inflating tires for a customer's old Accord, a tire pressure of 3.0 bar made the rear seats bumpy; adjusting it back to the factory-specified 2.2 bar restored comfort. An important tip is to measure when the car is cold for accuracy, as measurements taken right after turning off the engine can be about 0.3 bar higher. I prefer using a mechanical gauge over a digital one for reliability, especially in sub-zero temperatures. Overinflated tires wear out faster in the middle, while underinflated ones cause uneven wear on the sides. If you don't believe me, just crouch down and look at the tire's contact patch.

The new owner's manual states a universal value of 2.4 bar for all four wheels, but in practice, I've noticed differences between front and rear tires. Recently, when fully loaded for mountain driving, the repair shop inflated the front tires to 2.8 bar for load-bearing and the rear to 2.6 bar for better stability. After switching to wider tires, the mechanic recommended reducing pressure by 0.2 bar to increase contact area, which indeed made speed bumps feel less harsh. The tire pressure monitoring system's default alert threshold is 2.0 bar - once when I had a slow puncture, the warning light only came on at 1.8 bar. My advice: check your tires before morning drives; when cold, the sidewalls should yield about half a centimeter to finger pressure for optimal inflation.
