What is the normal tire pressure for a Civic?
1 Answers
Honda Civic's normal tire pressure is around 2.2-2.5 BAR. The 10th-generation Civic is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, which differs from directly measuring each tire's pressure. The tire pressure monitoring system monitors the vehicle by comparing the rolling radius and rotational characteristics of each wheel and tire. While driving, it determines whether one or more tires are significantly underinflated. This will cause the low tire pressure/tire pressure monitoring system indicator light to illuminate, and a message will appear on the driver information interface. The tire pressure monitoring indicator light will turn off automatically after driving once the tire pressure returns to normal. Precautions: A car's tire pressure undergoes subtle changes as driving mileage increases. Therefore, drivers should regularly monitor tire pressure. If the tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, increasing braking distance and compromising safe driving. If the tire pressure is too low, driving too fast or for too long can cause the tire sidewall to rupture or even lead to a blowout. Low tire pressure accelerates tire wear, increases the risk of blowouts, and raises fuel consumption. High tire pressure reduces tire grip and accelerates wear, weakening braking performance. Cold and hot tires have different pressures, which is especially important to note during measurement. Typically, hot tire pressure is about 0.2 bar higher than cold tire pressure. If measuring hot tire pressure, subtracting 0.2 bar will give the cold tire pressure value.
