What is the normal tire pressure for small cars?
1 Answers
The normal tire pressure for small cars is generally between 1.8 and 2.4 atmospheres. Typically, the front tires should be between 2.1 and 2.3 atmospheres, while the rear tires should be between 2.3 and 2.4 atmospheres. Normal tire pressure varies by season: in winter, it is advisable to increase the standard tire pressure by about 0.2 bar; in summer, if the car is parked outdoors, the pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Generally, a tire pressure between 2.3 and 2.5 is considered normal. If the car is fully loaded, a tire pressure of around 2.5 is more suitable; for two passengers, a tire pressure of 2.3 is also normal. The standard pressure can usually be found in the following places: the vehicle user manual, the label next to the driver's door, the drawer beside the driver's seat, or the fuel tank cap door.
