What is the standard tire pressure for the Honda Fit?
1 Answers
The tire pressure for the Honda Fit generally ranges between 2.3~2.8 BAR. However, during summer when temperatures are high, the actual tire pressure may rise above 3.0 BAR after driving. Therefore, it is advisable to maintain a slightly lower tire pressure within the normal range during summer, ideally between 2.3~2.5 BAR. Here are more details: 1. The tire pressure for the Honda Fit should be measured when the tires are cold. This is because checking the tire pressure when the tires are hot will result in a reading that is 30-40 kPa (0.3-0.4 kgf/cm2, 4-6 psi) higher than when the tires are cold. 2. For the Honda Fit, it is recommended to use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of all tires (including the spare tire) every month or before a long trip. Even well-maintained tires can lose 10 to 20 kPa (0.1 to 0.2 kgf/cm2; 1 to 2 psi) per month. 3. During hot weather, it is advisable to lower the tire pressure to prevent blowouts, while in winter, the tire pressure can be slightly increased. This adjustment reduces the contact area between the tires and the road, thereby decreasing friction and improving fuel efficiency. However, increasing tire pressure is suitable for clear winter weather. In snowy or icy conditions, higher tire pressure and reduced friction can make driving more difficult and dangerous.
