What is the tire pressure for the Baojun 730?
2 Answers
The recommended tire pressure for the Baojun 730 is within the range of 2.3-2.5 bar. Introduction to tire pressure: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and its damage can lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is like the blood pressure of the car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Effects of incorrect tire pressure: Air pressure is the lifeline of a tire. Both excessively high and low pressure can shorten the tire's lifespan. Low pressure increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the sidewalls and causing flexing movements, which generate excessive heat, accelerate rubber aging, fatigue the fabric layers, and break the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. High pressure, on the other hand, overstretches and deforms the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity. This increases the load on the car while driving, making it prone to internal cracks and blowouts upon impact. Additionally, high pressure accelerates wear on the tire tread and reduces its resistance to punctures.
I've been driving my Baojun 730 for almost two years now, and I never take tire pressure lightly. The standard values are usually listed on the door label, typically recommending 2.3 bar for the front tires and 2.4 bar for the rear tires, but it depends on the specific tire size and load. If fully loaded or driving on highways, I adjust it to 2.5 bar for better stability. Too low pressure increases fuel consumption and risks blowouts, while too high makes the ride bumpy and uncomfortable. I make it a habit to check with a pressure gauge monthly, always measuring when the tires are cold—hot tires give higher readings. In winter, I slightly reduce the pressure, and in summer, I add a bit, keeping it around 2.4 bar daily. Safe driving starts with the details—never slack off, or you’ll end up spending unnecessary money on tire replacements.
