What is the tire pressure for the Levin 1.2T?
2 Answers
The standard tire pressure for the Levin car is within the range of 2.3-2.5 bar, with a maximum not exceeding 3.0 bar and a minimum not below 2.1 bar. According to the regulations and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressures for different tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; The maximum tire pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Normal tire pressure in winter: In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car tires, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2 bar. Normal tire pressure in summer: Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure for car tires is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures.
As an owner of a Leiling 1.2T for over two years, I've maintained my tire pressure between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. The exact standard value can be found on the small label on the door frame—mine suggests around 2.4 bar, depending on tire size and load conditions. If the pressure is too low, fuel consumption increases noticeably and tire wear accelerates; if too high, the ride becomes bumpy and handling less agile. I make it a habit to check with a tire gauge every two weeks, ensuring even pressure across all tires. In winter, when temperatures drop and pressure tends to decrease, I often top up to 2.5 bar; in summer's heat, I slightly release air to return to 2.3 bar, balancing fuel efficiency and tire longevity. Remember, the most accurate readings come when the tires are cold—best measured after the car has been parked overnight. This routine has saved me from many maintenance headaches and ensures a smoother, safer drive.
