What is the normal tire pressure for cars in summer?
2 Answers
The normal tire pressure in summer should be between 2.1-2.3 bar. Generally, the normal tire pressure for car tires is between 2.3-2.5 bar. If the tire pressure deviates from the normal range, it will directly affect driving safety. Excessive tire pressure reduces tire grip, while insufficient tire pressure increases the risk of a blowout. Relevant information about tire pressure is as follows: Introduction: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car—damage to the engine can lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is like the blood pressure of the car, and its level plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: It reduces the friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; it causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort.
The normal tire pressure range in summer is usually indicated in your car's user manual or on the door frame label, typically around 32-35 psi when the tires are cold. Based on my years of driving experience, I've noticed that high summer temperatures can increase tire pressure by 5-10 psi, so it's best to check in the morning when the car is cold, not after it's been baking in the midday sun. If the pressure is too high, the tires can overheat, increasing the risk of a blowout; if it's too low, fuel consumption rises and handling worsens. I recommend keeping a digital tire pressure gauge handy and checking once a month. In summer, maintaining the pressure slightly below the standard value by about 0.5 psi can ensure both safety and peace of mind, making long trips worry-free.
