What is the tire pressure for the Mazda3 Axela?
2 Answers
The normal tire pressure for the Mazda3 Axela is around 2.3-2.5 bar. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressure for different types of tires is as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching of tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance, making it easier for sharp objects like nails or glass to penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement of tire components, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction with the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength, which can lead to blowouts at high speeds; Increases tire deformation, causing cracks on the sidewalls and generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.
As a daily commuter, I've been driving the Mazda3 (Axela) for two years now, and I usually keep the tire pressure around 2.2 bar for a smooth and comfortable ride. I remember when I picked up the car, the technician told me to check the label on the driver's side door frame, which shows the recommended value—usually 32 PSI or 2.2 bar, depending on the tire size. Checking it at home is simple; just buy a tire pressure gauge for a few dozen yuan and test it once a month. If the pressure is low, fill it up at a gas station to the recommended level, but don't overfill to avoid a blowout. Proper tire pressure helps save fuel, reduces bumps, prevents premature tire wear, and makes highway driving safer. Maintaining this habit is worry-free and safe, and I often share these tips in my community.
