What is the suitable tire pressure for the Emgrand GL?
2 Answers
The suitable tire pressure for the Emgrand GL is between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, which is essentially the 'blood pressure' of the car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power. Tire pressure is an indicator of the car's load capacity, and the load capacity depends on the tire pressure. Taking the 2021 manual Ling Shang version of the Emgrand GL as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with the following dimensions: length 4725mm, width 1802mm, height 1478mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 55 liters, and curb weight 1335kg.
I think the tire pressure of the Emgrand GL should be maintained between 2.3 to 2.5 bar, which is approximately 33 to 36 psi, for optimal comfort and safety while driving. You can find the manufacturer's recommended values on the label located either on the driver's side door edge or inside the fuel filler cap. I've driven my friend's car a few times and always referred to that. Remember, measuring tire pressure when the tires are cold—meaning the car has been parked for more than three hours—is the most accurate. The pressure will read higher when the tires are warm. It's best to check the pressure monthly using a simple tire pressure gauge; don't just guess. If the pressure is too low, the tires will wear out faster, and if it's too high, the ride will be uncomfortably bumpy and prone to slipping in rainy conditions. Personally, I like to increase the pressure slightly to 2.5 bar before long trips or when carrying more passengers to ensure smooth handling. Taking good care of your car like this will extend the life of your tires and save you money on replacements.
