tire pressure for long trips?

[[archie]]

good day tsikoteers,

ask ko lang if your going for a road trip, how much tire pressure do you put in? lets say batangas? less than what you normally put or just the same? whats the logic on it?

If your tire are original that come's out with the car follow the car manufacturer recommendation, it is in your manual and if it's not, look on the tire sidewall for proper inflation. Remember, under inflated tire can shorten the tread and integrity of your tire, so with over.

The manufacturer recommended pressures are almost always meant for comfort settings. It is ideal to go with those, or just a bit higher, to obtain optimal fuel economy as well as good comfort levels (any higher and it'll be too bouncy, any lower and your fuel economy suffers).

Don't forget the spare tire - typically inflate the spare 4 psi higher than the four on the ground.

just follow car manufacturer recommended tire pressure

For daily use, I usually put in 2 - 6 psi more than the recommended tire pressure, mainly for fuel economy, since the stiffer ride can be offset by the suspension.

For extended trips, such as a whole day's drive to Bicol, I add around 2 psi more, to compensate for the extra weight of passengers and luggage.

some of the old school pips told me that if your going for a long trip, put in less than the recommended. the reason daw is the air expands on long-high speed drives...

is this true?
