What is the normal kPa tire pressure for the H6?
2 Answers
The H6's standard tire pressure is generally around 230 kPa. In addition to following the manufacturer's recommended standard tire pressure, these important factors should also be considered: 1. Seasonal factors: In winter, it is advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. If the car is parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. 2. Load capacity: Follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure (the tire pressure indicated on the vehicle's sticker can serve as a reference for the minimum tire pressure). When fully loaded, follow the upper limit of the standard tire pressure (the maximum tire pressure indicated on the tire can serve as a reference for the theoretical maximum tire pressure). 3. Tire pressure measurement environment: The tire pressure of a cold tire and a hot tire is different, so attention should be paid during measurement. The difference between the two is about 0.2 bar. Ensure that the tire has been parked for at least three hours and has not been driven more than 2 kilometers. If tire pressure can only be measured when the tire is hot, subtract approximately 0.2 bar from the measured value to obtain the tire's cold inflation pressure.
I've been driving an SUV for several years, and the tire pressure is usually most suitable between 220 to 250 kPa. I remember one time when the tire pressure was low, only 180 kPa, and driving felt particularly strenuous with increased fuel consumption. Later, I inflated the tires to 240 kPa at a gas station, and it immediately felt much better. In winter when it's cold, tire pressure tends to drop, so I check it more frequently, keeping it around 230 kPa. In summer when it's hot, tire pressure rises, so don't overinflate—250 kPa is enough. The manufacturer's recommended values are usually on the door edge or in the manual, and it's best to refer to those. Regular checks can prevent uneven tire wear and extend their lifespan.
