abroncsnyomás

The Hungarian term "abroncsnyomás" translates to tire pressure in English. Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial for vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. Underinflated tires can lead to poor handling, increased braking distances, and premature wear on the tire edges. Overinflated tires can result in a harsher ride, reduced traction, and uneven wear on the center of the tire.

Vehicle manufacturers specify the recommended tire pressure, typically found on a sticker located on the driver's side doorjamb, in the owner's manual, or sometimes inside the fuel filler door. This recommended pressure is usually for cold tires, meaning the vehicle has been stationary for at least three hours or driven for less than a mile at moderate speed. Tire pressure can fluctuate with temperature; it increases as tires warm up and decreases in colder conditions.

Regularly checking and adjusting abroncsnyomás is a simple yet important maintenance task. A tire pressure gauge is used to measure the air pressure inside the tire. If the pressure is too low, air can be added using an air compressor, commonly found at gas stations. If the pressure is too high, air can be released by pressing the small pin in the center of the valve stem. It is advisable to check tire pressure at least once a month and before long journeys.
