What is the suitable tire pressure for Bora?
2 Answers
Bora's standard tire pressure at 4S stores is 2.3bar for the front wheels and 2.4bar for the rear wheels. In actual use, for urban and highway conditions, the front tire pressure should be between 2.3 to 2.4bar; the rear tire pressure under normal circumstances is 2.4 to 2.6bar; for prolonged heavy loads, it should be 2.6 to 2.8bar. The Bora is FAW-Volkswagen's first independently designed model, hailed as a car that 'inherits and surpasses the classics.' In terms of body dimensions, the Bora measures 4523mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1467mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. With its dignified and generous appearance, outstanding safety and comfort performance, and excellent German manufacturing quality, the Bora is highly favored by consumers.
I've been driving my Bora for several years and found that setting the right tire pressure is crucial. The general recommendation is around 2.3 bar, but the exact value should be confirmed by the label on the door frame or the owner's manual, as it may vary slightly depending on the model year and configuration. Excessive tire pressure can lead to rapid wear in the center of the tire and stiff handling, making it easier to skid during high-speed turns; insufficient pressure increases fuel consumption, makes the steering wheel heavy, and even raises the risk of a blowout. The most accurate time to check is when the tires are cold, such as measuring before heading out in the morning. I make it a habit to check once a month, especially before long trips or when seasons change. In winter, lower temperatures can reduce tire pressure, so it's okay to set it slightly higher, say 2.4 bar, to prevent air leakage. Remember, stable tire pressure ensures driving safety and tire longevity. If there's an issue, just head to the repair shop for a top-up.
