What is the recommended tire pressure for 195 tires?
2 Answers
Inflate to 2.3-2.5bar. The normal tire pressure is generally around 2.3-2.5bar. Different vehicle models may require different tire pressures for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. There are two types of automotive tire pressures: 1. Low-pressure tires: Inflation pressure ranges from 0.1471 to 0.490MPa (1.5 to 5kg/cm²); Low-pressure tires are generally suitable for private vehicles; Typically, the inflation pressure for household cars is between 0.2~0.25MPa. 2. High-pressure tires: Inflation pressure ranges from 0.5 to 0.7MPa (5~7kg/cm²), High-pressure tires are suitable for large trucks/buses, with an inflation pressure generally around 0.5MPa, while steel-belted tires can be appropriately increased to about 0.6MPa.
I've been driving since I was young and have used 195 tires quite a lot. Generally, inflating them between 2.3 to 2.5 bar is fine, but this isn't a fixed rule. Tire pressure should be considered in combination with the vehicle type - there's a big difference between small cars and SUVs. I always make it a habit to check once a month using a reliable quality pressure gauge. If the pressure is too low, fuel consumption will increase, the tire edges will wear out quickly, and blowouts become more likely; if it's too high, the ride becomes bumpy and uncomfortable, and handling performance suffers. For specific recommended values, check the label on the door edge or the owner's manual - that's where your car's actual standards are written. Remember that seasonal changes have a big impact: in winter you can go slightly higher, while in summer you should go slightly lower to prevent expansion. Safety first - regular maintenance will keep your car running longer and more reliably.
