What is the normal tire pressure for Geely Boyue Pro?
2 Answers
The suitable tire pressure for Geely Boyue Pro is between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. In summer, it is advisable to maintain a slightly lower tire pressure around 2.2 bar within the normal range, while in autumn and winter, it can be controlled towards the higher limit of 2.5 bar. The hazards of excessive tire pressure are as follows: The friction and adhesion of the tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; it may cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; it accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening the tire's lifespan; increased body vibration indirectly affects the lifespan of other components; it causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; puncture resistance decreases. When encountering sharp objects such as nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, and impacts may lead to internal cracks and blowouts, resulting in a tire burst. The hazards of insufficient tire pressure are as follows: The friction coefficient with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; it makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; it increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; it reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; the friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire burst; it increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
I've been driving a Geely Boyue Pro for three years and believe the normal tire pressure should be maintained between 2.3 to 2.5 bar, but it really depends on your tire type and vehicle load. Too high tire pressure makes the ride bumpy and uncomfortable, causes faster wear in the center of the tire, and makes braking less stable. Too low not only increases fuel consumption but also leads to severe wear on the tire edges and makes tires more prone to rapid air loss in winter. I check the tire pressure once a month using a digital tire pressure gauge when the tires are cold. The recommended values are usually found in the manual or on the label inside the driver's door frame. Safety is no trivial matter—I've seen a friend have a tire blowout on a long trip due to low pressure; it's really not worth skipping these checks. Seasonal changes have a big impact: release some air when pressure rises in hot weather, and add more in cold weather. Once you make it a habit, the car drives smoother, tires last longer, and the money saved is enough for several maintenance sessions.
