[Daily Knowledge] When do you need to deflate your abortion?

Do you always wonder when to deflate your tires? Here are some things you need to know!

1. When does a car need to have its tires inflated?

1. Regular inspection

• It is recommended to check tire pressure at least once a month . Even if the tire appears normal, the pressure may have dropped.
• You should also check tire pressure before long-distance driving or changing seasons (large temperature difference).

2. The tire feels soft and mature

• If the tire is obviously flat when visually inspected, or feels soft when pressed by hand, it may be underinflated.

3. Tire pressure warning light comes on

• If the vehicle is equipped with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), a light on the dashboard will light up to indicate abnormal tire pressure.

4. When the seasons change or the temperature changes greatly

• The temperature difference between winter and summer is large, and the air pressure will drop with the temperature change, so it needs to be adjusted in time.

5. After tire repair or tire replacement

• After repairing a tire, replacing a tire or changing a wheel, the correct tire pressure should be readjusted.

2. Is there a recommended tire pressure value for each tire?

1. Recommended tire pressure comes from the "car manufacturer" rather than the "tire manufacturer"

• The recommended tire pressure is set by the car manufacturer based on the vehicle model, weight, purpose, etc. , and is not determined solely by the tire brand.
• The maximum tire pressure is marked on the side of the tire, but this is not the recommended value for daily driving.

2.How to check the recommended tire pressure?

• The recommended tire pressure for your vehicle can usually be found at:
  • Driver's door and B-pillar stickers
  • Owner's Manual
  • Fuel tank cap inner sticker
  • Vehicle settings page in the dashboard of some models

3. Different Suggestions for Different Situations

• When fully loaded (with multiple people or heavy cargo), the recommended tire pressure will be slightly higher than usual.
• The front and rear tire pressures may be different, please adjust according to the sticker or manual instructions.

4. Tire pressure unit

• Common units include:
  • psi (pounds force per square inch)
  • kPa (kilopascal)
  • bar

IV. Conclusion

• When to inflate the tire : Check regularly, at least once a month; when the tire feels soft or the warning light comes on; after changing seasons or tire maintenance.
• Recommended tire pressure : The tire pressure should be based on the manufacturer's recommendations. The tire side markings only indicate the maximum safe pressure, not the recommended value . Different vehicle models and loads will have different values.
• Correct tire pressure helps driving safety, tire life and fuel efficiency.

If you are not sure, it is recommended to go to a professional tire shop or repair center for consultation.
