What is the recommended tire pressure for CRV?
2 Answers
The standard tire pressure for Honda CRV is generally between 2.2-2.5 BAR. As long as it's within this range, it's considered safe tire pressure. Hazards of reducing tire pressure: Lowering tire pressure can lead to two consequences: first, increased tire wear which shortens tire lifespan; second, increased fuel consumption. During summer when temperatures are high, especially when driving on highways at speeds of 100-120 km/h, the tire surface temperature can reach 80 degrees Celsius or even exceed 100 degrees, causing internal pressure to rise. Hazards of increasing tire pressure: As for increasing tire pressure, the only benefit is reduced fuel consumption. However, besides the risk of tire blowout, increasing tire pressure brings many disadvantages such as longer braking distance, which is unfavorable for safe driving.
I've been driving my CR-V for several years, and the recommended daily tire pressure is around 32 psi. This value is crucial. Low tire pressure worsens handling, making the car feel unstable during turns and increasing the risk of a blowout, especially on highways. On the other hand, if the pressure is too high, the tires wear unevenly, with the center wearing out faster and shortening the tire's lifespan. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure every quarter. In winter, when temperatures drop, the tire pressure decreases a bit, and in summer, when it rises, I let out some air. It's best to measure the pressure when the car is cold, meaning before driving, using a portable tire pressure gauge for convenience. When carrying children or heavy luggage, the tire pressure can be adjusted to 34 psi for added support, but avoid exceeding the limit for extended periods. Develop a regular checking habit—this small task can prevent major accidents. As the saying goes, safety is no small matter. Taking a few minutes to check can make a big difference in stability.
