What is the tire pressure for the Chery Tiggo 8?
3 Answers
The normal tire pressure range for the Chery Tiggo 8 is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. Press the switch button on the Tiggo 8's steering wheel three times to view a simulated car map, which also displays the front and rear wheels, each showing tire pressure and temperature. However, these readings are only visible while the car is in motion; no numbers are displayed when the wheels are stationary. The Tiggo 8's tire pressure monitoring system is an active safety feature that continuously monitors tire pressure and temperature, displaying the data on the LCD screen. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a pressure below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflation: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; increased steering wheel vibration and misalignment, lowering driving comfort; accelerated wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; heightened vehicle vibration, indirectly impacting other components; excessive strain on tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing driving load. Hazards of underinflation: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; heavy steering and misalignment, compromising driving safety; excessive movement of tire sections, causing abnormal heat buildup; degradation of cord and rubber functions, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplied friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator lights up (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), it is typically due to one of three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. The system usually triggers an alarm if pressure falls below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In this case, inspect the tires and adjust the pressure. Tire pressure monitoring not reset. After inflating the tires, failing to reset the system causes it to retain old data, illuminating the indicator. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the tire pressure warning light will activate. A damaged sensor must be replaced with a new one.
I've been driving a Chery Tiggo 8 for some time now, and tire pressure issues do affect the driving experience. When the car is cold, the recommended tire pressure generally ranges between 2.3 to 2.5 bar, depending on the model year and tire size. My car's door label specifies 2.4 bar. If the tire pressure is too low, you'll notice sluggish handling and increased fuel consumption; if it's too high, the ride becomes bumpy and can even accelerate tire wear. I make it a habit to check the pressure every two weeks with a simple tire gauge to ensure it stays within the recommended range. During significant temperature changes, like in winter or hot summer, tire pressure can fluctuate by about 0.2 bar, so extra attention is needed. Regular maintenance not only extends tire life but also saves money. Having a portable air pump at home makes it convenient to adjust the pressure—safety always comes first when driving.
As an automotive enthusiast, I often study the detailed design of the Tiggo 8. The standard tire pressure setting for this vehicle is approximately 2.2-2.5 bar (around 32-35 psi) for both front and rear wheels, which should be confirmed according to the owner's manual or the markings on the vehicle body. Based on my experience, if the model is equipped with 17-inch tires, a pressure of 2.3 bar is recommended; for 18-inch tires, it should be slightly higher. Incorrect tire pressure not only causes the vehicle to pull to one side but also increases the risk of longer braking distances. Using a digital tire pressure gauge for precise measurement is crucial, as visual inspection is unreliable. Models equipped with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) will issue automatic alerts, but regular manual checks are still necessary. High temperatures in summer can easily increase pressure, so it's advisable to adjust when the vehicle is cold; in winter, pay attention to pressure drops, which can affect fuel consumption.
