What is the recommended tire pressure for the front tires of the Emgrand GL?
2 Answers
The normal tire pressure for the front tires of the Emgrand GL is between 2.2 and 2.5. Excessive tire pressure reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to increased pressure and wear per unit area, which can result in loss of braking control. If encountering depressions or protrusions on the road, the tire may burst, causing damage to the vehicle's suspension system. Here are some precautions for tire usage: 1. Regularly check tire pressure. Tire pressure is a critical factor affecting tire lifespan. Avoid both underinflation and overinflation, and always inflate according to the vehicle's indicated tire pressure. 2. Frequently inspect tire wear. Some vehicles may experience uneven tire wear, so it's important to check the tires periodically, especially for abnormal wear on the inner side of the tire. Pay attention to whether the tread depth is consistent on both sides. 3. Promptly remove small stones and other debris from the tires. Foreign objects lodged in the tire treads can pose potential hazards and may fly out while driving.
For the standard tire pressure of the Emgrand GL's front tires, I usually set it around 2.4 bar, which is the most reliable for daily driving. Having driven similar models for several years, I find that maintaining this pressure ensures precise steering and decent fuel efficiency. Higher pressure increases tire noise and reduces comfort, while lower pressure leads to unstable handling and a higher risk of skidding. I use this standard when the car is unloaded, but increase it to 2.5 bar when carrying heavy loads or going on long trips to enhance stability. Checking the pressure is simple—I use a pen-type pressure gauge to measure it monthly. It's best to check when the tires are cold, not immediately after driving. Developing a habit of regular checks can save a lot on fuel costs and extend tire life by at least a year or two, while also improving the car's overall performance. Paying attention to these small details makes driving much more reassuring.
