Will tire pressure become lower in cold weather?

Pacific Automotive Network Tire pressure will become lower in cold weather. Due to the low temperature in winter, the tire pressure will also decrease due to thermal expansion and contraction. At this time, if the tire pressure is increased inappropriately, it will not only increase A car's fuel consumption will also accelerate the wear of the car's tires. However, the tire pressure should not be too high, otherwise the friction between the tire and the ground will be greatly reduced and the braking performance will be weakened. In addition to the manufacturer's standards, the tire pressure in winter should also be increased or decreased based on the driving surface.

To ensure driving safety, when the temperature drops, you must remember to check your tires carefully, frequently clean out inclusions in the tread, try to avoid using tires that have been patched more than once, and replace tires with greater wear and different brands. Patterned tires. In addition, having good driving habits can also reduce tire wear. For example, when driving, you should avoid starting too hard, turning suddenly, emergency braking, driving at high speed in areas with poor road conditions, frequently going up and down curbs, and tire scratches when parking. Things etc.

Winter is a season that causes great damage to tires. Automobile manufacturers usually assemble vehicle tires with AI Season (all-weather) tires, whose performance compromises the characteristics of summer tires and winter tires, so in When driving in winter, special attention should be paid to tire pressure and maintenance to avoid accidents caused by improper use.
