What is the recommended tire pressure for sedans in winter?
1 Answers
The recommended tire pressure for sedans in winter is between 2.4 to 2.5 bar. Vehicle tire pressure varies depending on different conditions: 1. Seasonal factors: In winter, it is advisable to increase the standard tire pressure by 0.2 bar, while in summer, the standard tire pressure should be reduced by 0.1 bar; 2. Tire condition: For new tires, the pressure should be increased by 0.2 bar compared to the standard tire pressure. Hazards of abnormal tire pressure: 1. Excessive tire pressure increases the risk of a blowout, causing the middle part of the tire to bulge and contact the ground, significantly reducing the vehicle's grip on the road and failing to provide sufficient friction during emergency braking; 2. Insufficient tire pressure causes the outer edges of the tire to contact the ground, preventing the entire tread from making contact, increasing wear on the sidewalls while failing to provide adequate grip area. Frequent wear on the thinnest part of the sidewalls can directly lead to premature tire failure.
