What is the normal tire pressure for Emgrand GS?
2 Answers
The normal tire pressure for Emgrand GS is within the range of 2.4-2.5 bar. According to the international standard GBT2978-2008, the tire pressure requirements for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced friction and adhesion of tires, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Excessive stretching of tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreased puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass on the road can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, and tire bursts.
I've been driving the Emgrand GS for many years. The normal tire pressure is generally between 2.3 and 2.5 bar, depending on the specific model's manual recommendations. If it's too high, it can wear out the tires faster and make the ride bumpy and uncomfortable. If it's too low, not only does fuel consumption increase, but it can also affect braking distance, which is dangerous. I usually check the tire pressure every two to three months with a simple tire pressure gauge, preferably when the car is cold, such as before starting in the morning. If unsure, it's convenient to visit a repair shop to have it checked and also inspect the tire wear. Remember, in summer when temperatures are high, tire pressure tends to rise, so it's good to lower it slightly. In winter, the opposite is true, and it's better to add a bit of air. Maintaining proper tire pressure can extend tire life by several years, and safety always comes first.
