What is the normal range for car tire pressure in winter?

[LeGrant]

In winter, the front tire pressure of a car should be between 2.3bar and 2.5bar, while the rear tire pressure should be between 2.2bar and 2.3bar. Summer tire pressure: It must be measured according to the rated pressure. When tires are at standard pressure, the deformation during driving will be controlled within a reasonable range. If the pressure is too low, the deformation increases, and the gas inside the tire is continuously compressed and expanded, which can cause the tire temperature to rise quickly and lead to a blowout. Winter tire pressure: It can be slightly higher than in summer. Winter tire pressure should be normal; if it's too high, the grip will be insufficient, making it easy to skid. If it's too low, although the grip is sufficient, the low pressure can cause premature aging of both sides of the tire, affecting its lifespan. Also, in winter, the pressure should not be too high as it can affect braking distance and easily cause tire damage.

I've been driving for almost twenty years, and tire pressure in winter is a concern every year. The normal range is usually around 30 to 35 PSI, but when the temperature drops below minus ten degrees, the air contracts, and the tire pressure can drop by a few pounds. I usually keep it between 32 and 35. The exact value depends on the standard figures on the door frame or in the manual, as it varies by car. Low pressure not only wastes fuel but also leads to uneven tire wear or skidding, especially in snow. Once, I had a close call due to insufficient tire pressure, and since then, I've been using a pressure gauge to check monthly. Don’t neglect tire maintenance in winter—replace them if the tread is worn out. Safety comes first, and it can also save you some fuel costs.

I place great emphasis on driving safety, especially during winter travel, where tire pressure must be precise. The standard tire pressure ranges from 2.1 to 2.4 bar, approximately 30 to 35 PSI, but in cold weather, air contracts, often causing tire pressure to drop by 5-10%. I recommend maintaining it around 34. Low pressure can lead to loss of control or the risk of a blowout. Once, I experienced sluggish steering on icy roads due to low tire pressure, but fortunately, no accident occurred. I check weekly with a digital gauge to ensure the valve is clean and leak-free. I also recommend using winter tires to enhance grip. Regular maintenance is both safe and economical.

I enjoy driving around in winter, and I've given some thought to tire pressure. The normal range is 30-35 PSI, but in sub-zero weather, you should increase it a bit because the air contracts, causing the pressure to drop. I usually set mine to 33 PSI, which gives the tires more stable traction and better performance on snowy roads. Remember to check the manual or the label on the side of the car—don't just guess. I also use a mobile app to remind myself to check the pressure monthly, and a tire inflator only costs a few bucks at the supermarket. Proper tire pressure improves fuel efficiency, so you can save some gas money for trips.
