What is the Suitable Tire Pressure in Winter?
1 Answers
In winter, the tire pressure should be adjusted based on the standard tire pressure of the car, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2bar. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. Other factors affecting tire pressure: Empty/Half-load: Follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure (the tire pressure indicated on the vehicle sticker can serve as a reference for the minimum tire pressure). Full-load: Under full load, follow the upper limit of the standard tire pressure (the maximum tire pressure indicated on the tire can serve as a reference for the theoretical maximum tire pressure). Hot tires: The pressure differs between cold and hot tires, so measurements should be taken carefully. The difference is approximately 0.3bar. Cold tires: Measure after the car has been parked for at least three hours or if the tires have not been driven more than 2km. If you can only measure the tire pressure when the tires are hot, subtract approximately 0.2bar from the measured value to get the cooled tire inflation pressure.
