What is the normal tire pressure for Wuling Zhiguang?
2 Answers
The tire pressure for Wuling Zhiguang is between 2.4 and 2.5 bar. This vehicle is a microvan-level car launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling in May 2020. In terms of body dimensions, the Wuling Zhiguang has a length of 3797mm, a width of 1510mm, a height of 1835mm, and a wheelbase of 2500mm. In terms of power, it is equipped with an LSI naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), delivering a maximum horsepower of 76PS, a maximum power of 56KW, and a maximum torque of 108N.M. Measuring tire pressure: The tire pressure of a cold tire is different from that of a hot tire, so attention should be paid during measurement. The difference between the two is approximately 0.3 bar. A cold tire is one that has been parked for at least three hours and has not been driven more than 2 kilometers. If you can only measure the tire pressure when the tire is hot, subtract approximately 0.2 bar from the measured value to obtain the tire's cooling inflation pressure. On roads with significant bumps, it is advisable to reduce the tire pressure by 0.1 to 0.2 bar from the standard tire pressure.
Speaking of the normal tire pressure for the Wuling Guang, I've been driving this car for several years. Generally, the front tires should be around 2.3 to 2.4 bar, while the rear tires should be adjusted to about 2.5 bar when carrying heavy loads. You can refer to the label on the door B-pillar or the user manual for specifics. If the tire pressure is too high, the ride feels extremely bumpy, and the tires are prone to deformation and cracking. If it's too low, it's even worse—fuel consumption spikes, tire wear doubles, and the brakes feel soft. During hot summer days, be extra cautious as the tire pressure naturally rises by about 0.2 bar, so avoid overinflating to reduce the risk of a blowout. In winter, it's the opposite—slightly higher pressure is recommended. I always carry a portable tire pressure gauge and check it monthly at gas station air pumps—it's cost-effective and hassle-free. Maintaining the right tire pressure ensures a stable ride and fewer issues on long trips.
