What is the normal tire pressure for GAC Trumpchi GS8?
2 Answers
The normal tire pressure for Trumpchi GS8 is 220kPa, with the same pressure for front and rear wheels. How to check tire pressure: The most standard tire pressure value can be found on the tire pressure label located on the front door frame on the driver's side, which indicates the original tires and corresponding tire pressure. The tire pressure data refers to cold tire pressure, applicable to both summer and winter tires. Hazards of too low or too high tire pressure: Both underinflation and overinflation can shorten tire lifespan. Underinflation increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks, while the resulting flexing motion causes excessive tire heating, accelerating rubber aging and even leading to blowouts. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating shoulder wear. Overinflation causes excessive tire expansion and reduced elasticity, increasing the risk of bursting upon significant impact, while also accelerating tread wear.
The recommended tire pressure for the Trumpchi GS8 typically ranges between 2.3 and 2.5 bar, depending on your specific model year. From my daily driving experience, the most accurate measurement is taken when the tires are cold—either after the car has been parked for over 3 hours or driven less than 2 kilometers. Tire pressure significantly impacts driving comfort: if it's too high, you'll feel excessive bumpiness over speed bumps; if too low, fuel consumption noticeably increases. I make it a habit to check with a simple tire pressure gauge monthly and always keep a portable air pump in the trunk. Don’t forget to check the vehicle’s placard, usually located on the driver’s side door jamb. Also, front and rear tire recommended pressures may differ—for front-wheel-drive models, front tires often require about 0.1 bar higher pressure.
