What is the tire pressure for winter snow tires?
1 Answers
Winter snow tires typically have a standard tire pressure ranging from 2.2 to 2.5 bar. Compared to regular tires, snow tires are designed with special compounds to increase traction on snow and ice-covered roads, and their tread material is softer. Here are some relevant details: Generally, it is advisable to maintain the tire pressure at the lower limit of the standard range for your car's tires. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be slightly lower than the standard by about 0.1 bar to prevent blowouts due to high temperatures. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: standard tires should be between 2.4-2.5 bar; reinforced tires between 2.8-2.9 bar; the maximum tire pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Tire pressure anomalies: Generally, a pressure below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar will trigger an alert. In such cases, it is necessary to inspect the tires and adjust the pressure accordingly.
