According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressure for BYD F3 is generally between 2.0~2.5 BAR. Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, with alarms for tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data. The system automatically alerts when tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the above two systems, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and an indirect system for all four wheels. Compared to using only direct systems, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of actual pressure in all four tires like direct systems.

I've been driving a BYD F3, and maintaining tire pressure between 2.3 to 2.5 bar is ideal. For instance, measuring it when the car is cold yields the most accurate reading. The door frame or user manual usually indicates the specific recommended value. If the pressure is too low, the tire edges will wear excessively, and fuel consumption increases. I remember once when the tire pressure was only 2.0 bar, I spent over a hundred bucks more on fuel in a month. On the other hand, if it's too high, say over 2.6 bar, the ride becomes bouncy, and going over speed bumps feels uncomfortable. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure monthly using a 20-yuan digital pressure gauge at home. Keeping it within the ideal range ensures smoother driving and significantly extends tire life. Never overlook this—proper tire pressure also makes highway driving much safer.

As a driver who prioritizes road safety, I believe the recommended tire pressure for the BYD F3 is between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. Abnormal tire pressure can pose significant risks—too low may cause blowouts or loss of control, while too high reduces traction. Based on experience, seasonal changes also affect the recommended values: inflating to around 2.4 bar in winter and 2.3 bar in summer helps prevent overheating and expansion. I always check with a pressure gauge when the tires are cold to ensure even pressure across all four wheels, avoiding imbalance-induced wobbling. This small habit has kept my family safe on the road without a single accident. Everyone should develop the routine of checking tire pressure before driving.

From a cost-saving perspective, I maintain the tire pressure of my BYD F3 at the standard value of 2.4 bar. Proper tire pressure can save 3-5% on fuel, which adds up to hundreds of yuan in annual fuel savings over time. Tire wear is also reduced—my original tires remained in good condition after three years. When tire pressure drops to 2.0 bar, fuel consumption spikes and edge wear increases, leading to costly tire replacements; exceeding 2.6 bar accelerates center wear. I use a simple manual pressure gauge to check monthly, a quick two-minute task at home. This method has saved me significant repair costs, and the car runs quietly without extra noise—both economical and practical.
