What is the Standard Tire Pressure for Sedans in Summer?
1 Answers
In summer, the normal tire pressure generally ranges between 2.2—2.5 kPa. In spring, when the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius, the tire pressure is usually maintained at 2.3-2.5 kPa. However, as the temperature and road surface temperature gradually increase, especially during high-speed or long-distance driving, the tire pressure can easily rise, increasing the risk of a tire blowout. For safety, it is advisable to stop and reduce the pressure under such conditions. Here are some additional details: Precautions: Excessive tire pressure reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to a significant increase in pressure and wear per unit area. This can easily result in loss of braking control, tire blowouts when encountering road protrusions or depressions, damage to the vehicle's suspension system, and discomfort during rides. Insufficient tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, causing abnormal temperature rises inside the tire during driving. Additionally, severe deformation of the tire sidewalls accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, creating a hidden risk for tire blowouts. It also increases fuel consumption and reduces tire lifespan.
