What is the normal tire pressure in bar?
1 Answers
Choose the appropriate tire pressure based on seasonal factors. In summer, to prevent tire blowouts, the standard pressure is generally between 2.2-2.4 bar; while in winter, a tire pressure of 2.6-2.8 bar is recommended. Here are the relevant details: 1. Summer tire pressure: During summer, overall temperatures are higher, and car tires are prone to overheating. If the tire pressure is too high, it can easily lead to blowouts, so maintaining standard pressure is sufficient. 2. Winter tire pressure: Winter tire pressure is slightly higher than in summer because tires undergo thermal expansion and contraction. Due to lower winter temperatures, a pressure of 2.6-2.8 bar is generally most suitable. 3. Other influencing factors: (1) Load capacity: Whether the vehicle is half-loaded or empty, the tire pressure should generally follow the reference values indicated on the car's sticker. For fully loaded vehicles, the same reference values should also be used. (2) Measurement environment: Tire pressure differs between hot and cold tires, typically by about 0.2-0.3 bar. For more accurate readings, it's best to measure the tire pressure a few hours after the car has been turned off. Otherwise, subtract approximately 0.2-0.3 bar. (3) It's worth noting for car owners that vehicles frequently used for long-distance travel should not have tire pressure set too low. The pressure can be slightly increased by about 0.2 bar above the standard value.
