Where to Check the Standard Tire Pressure?
2 Answers
The standard tire pressure can be checked using a tire pressure gauge. The standard tire pressure is approximately 2.2 to 2.5 bar. Generally, the tire pressure can be slightly lower in summer and slightly higher in winter. If the tire pressure is too low, the deformation of the tire when in contact with the ground will be greater, increasing the contact area between the tire and the ground, which leads to higher driving resistance and heavier steering. To avoid insufficient tire pressure during driving, it is essential to regularly check the tire condition during daily use. If the tire pressure drops, inspect the tire for leaks or punctures, such as from nails. If there is a puncture causing air leakage, it should be repaired promptly or the tire should be replaced directly. If the tire sidewall is punctured, it is recommended to replace the tire immediately.
When I first bought my car, I couldn't find the tire pressure label either. Later, I discovered that the factory tire pressure chart is usually affixed to the side of the driver's door frame—just open the door and look down to see it. Some cars also print it on the inside of the fuel filler cap or in the glove compartment. These values are calculated by engineers based on the vehicle's weight and tire characteristics, making them the safest reference for inflation during spring and autumn. In summer, when driving on highways, you can reduce the pressure by 0.1-0.2 bar, while in winter, especially for snow driving, stick to the standard values. If the label is worn and illegible, check the user manual—it definitely includes detailed charts. The last time I helped my dad check the tire pressure for his old Accord, we found the label hidden under the spare tire cover—quite a sneaky design!
