Will the tire pressure become lower in cold weather?

Yes It is normal for tire pressure to drop in cold weather. When the temperature drops, increase the tire pressure appropriately to avoid abnormal tire heating. However, the tire pressure should not be too high, which will affect the grip and handling comfort of the tire.

Tire pressure is very important for driving safety. Tire pressure is not a fixed value but a dynamic value. It is recommended to check the tire pressure at least once a month. In addition to the monthly inspection, the tire pressure should be adjusted every season. It is suggested to adjust in May, 1 1 every year. The weather has been getting hotter since May. At this time, as long as the tire pressure is not too much higher than the standard range, don't deliberately reduce the tire pressure. Winter begins in June, 1 1, and the tire pressure usually drops, so it needs to be adjusted slightly. Usually, if the tire doesn't leak, it doesn't need to be adjusted every month.

Extended data:

In winter, the rubber of the tire will harden, so it will become brittle and the friction coefficient will decrease. This requires that the tire pressure should not be too high, but not too low. The outside air temperature is low and the tire pressure is too low. Soft tires will seriously accelerate aging, aggravate the contact between tires and the ground, accelerate friction and reduce tire life. Therefore, tire maintenance is also very important.

1. Choose better winter tires for replacement. Because of the cold weather, tire rubber will become harder than in summer. Even if many cars are equipped with all-season tires, frozen and slippery roads will test the grip of tires. In order to drive safely, it is necessary to replace winter tires.

2. Pay attention to the tire pressure of the vehicle to ensure that the front and rear tire treads on each side completely touch the ground to achieve the best grip effect. At the same time, proper tire pressure can reduce road vibration and increase driving comfort.

3. Pay attention to the maintenance of the tire sidewall, and be sure to check it regularly to ensure that it is intact and safe to drive.
