Is the most important thing drivers can do for their tires. In just one month, a tire can lose up to 0.3-0.5 atmospheres of air pressure. It is important to check the air pressure regularly to ensure that your Nissan's tires are not under-inflated or over-inflated at the same time.

The worst enemy of tires is having too little pressure. This leads to increased tread wear on the outer edges (or "shoulders") of the tire. It also generates excess heat, which reduces tire life. Finally, insufficient pressure increases fuel consumption by increasing rolling resistance (soft passenger car tires make it difficult to roll freely).

Correct pressure in the tires of any car is the key to a comfortable and safe ride. As practice shows, on average, per month of active use of a car, tires lose up to 0.3 atmospheres. That is why it is very important to regularly measure tire pressure and correct any problems.

Car tire pressure measurement

Pressure measurement methods

How can you correctly measure tire pressure on Nissan models such as Almera, Beetle, Qashqai or X-Trail? This should be done only with the help of special equipment - pressure gauges. Such devices for measuring tire pressure are suitable for almost all types of cars, including Almera, Qashqai, Zhuk or X-Trail.

In total, there are 2 types of pressure gauges based on the mechanism of their operation:

mechanical (switch);
electronic.

If you are interested in the most accurate device, you should pay attention to electronic pressure gauges. They can be used even in cold weather. As for accuracy, the possible deviation is no more than 0.05 bar.

Measuring pressure using an electronic pressure gauge

For dial gauges and mechanical pressure gauges, the percentage of deviation is slightly higher. But for home use it is quite suitable. Moreover, mechanical types of pressure gauges are the most durable and resistant to mechanical damage and bad weather conditions. So for measuring the tire pressure of your Nissan Almera, this is one of the best options.

But there is a simpler method: do not buy devices, but simply carry out periodic technical inspections and pressure measurements at a service station.

We take the indicators correctly

Even if you purchase the most accurate device, it will a priori not produce accurate results if it is not used correctly. To measure the tire pressure of your Nissan Almera accurately. It is necessary to take readings under the following conditions:

tires must be unheated;
the car is in a “cold” state;
The pressure of all 4 wheels, including the spare one, is taken into account.

Please note that if measurements are carried out in the cold season, it is better to use. It gives the most accurate results.

Measuring process

Measuring pressure in Nissan X-Trail tires is carried out as follows:

on the pressure gauge, using a special button, the readings are reset;
remove the cap from the pressure gauge nozzle and the spool;
a pressure gauge is immediately attached to the hole;
tire readings are recorded.

If the device produces more than necessary, the tires should be lowered. If it’s less, pump it up.

Please note: if the pressure readings in the X-Trail tires on the pressure gauge are always less than required, you need to check the condition of the spool and tighten it to the required threshold. If this repeats systematically, it is better to replace the part altogether or contact a service station. Perhaps the problem is with the tire itself.

Pressure standards for Nissan

As a rule, such standards should be indicated on a special plate on the inside of the driver's door, in the gas tank area or on the inside of the trunk roof. If there is no such sign, you can find the data on the Internet. In the latter case, they should be taken only as a rough guide.

There is also one very important detail to consider. These tables indicate tire pressure only for sizes recommended by the manufacturer. If you use other tires, you can only establish the correct pressure through experimentation.

Table with standard tire pressure for Nissan Almera

Please note that in the cold season, the pressure rate should be 0.3 bar less than stated in the table. In other words, the tires of your Qashqai should be slightly lowered. This is due to the fact that in this position a larger adhesion patch with the road surface is provided. The more the tire sags, the more the Velcro on the rubber opens, which ensures good grip even on ice.

This is due to the fact that the load on the rear of the wheelbase is greater than on the front. This is especially true for a loaded Qashqai vehicle.

Possible negative factors

increased fuel consumption;
deformation of tires, chassis;
the possibility that the tire will burst.

In addition to the fact that such factors affect the performance and life of your vehicle, it is also unsafe. Therefore, such problems should not be neglected.

Agree, it is much more profitable to prevent a problem than to spend money on repairing it later. Therefore, a technical inspection of your vehicle should be carried out in a timely manner.

Lamps used in cars

Any modern car or truck can be serviced and repaired independently, in a regular garage. All you need for this is a set of tools and a factory repair manual with a detailed (step-by-step) description of the operations. Such a manual should contain the types of operating fluids, oils and lubricants used, and most importantly, the tightening torques of all threaded connections of parts of vehicle components and assemblies. Italian cars – Fiat Alfa Romeo Lancia Ferrari Mazerati (Maserati) have their own design features. You can also join a special group select all French cars - Peugout (Peugeot), Renault (Renault) and Citroen (Citroen). German cars are complex. This especially applies to Mercedes Benz (Mercedes Benz), BMW (BMW), Audi (Audi) and Porsche (Porsche), in a slightly smaller - to Volkswagen (Volkswagen) and Opel (Opel). The next large group, separated by design features, consists of American manufacturers - Chrysler, Jeep, Plymouth, Dodge, Eagle, Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Ford, Mercury, Lincoln . Of the Korean companies, it should be noted Hyundai/Kia, GM-DAT (Daewoo), SsangYong.

More recently, Japanese cars were distinguished by their relatively low initial cost and affordable prices for spare parts, but recently they have caught up with prestigious European brands in these indicators. Moreover, this applies almost equally to all brands of cars from the land of the rising sun - Toyota (Toyota), Mitsubishi (Mitsubishi), Subaru (Subaru), Isuzu (Isuzu), Honda (Honda), Mazda (Mazda or as Matsuda used to say) , Suzuki (Suzuki), Daihatsu (Daihatsu), Nissan (Nissan). Well, and cars produced under the Japanese-American brands Lexus, Scion, Infinity,

Many car owners of the popular Japanese crossover Nissan Qashqai do not attach serious importance to one of the most important indicators that determine the clarity of its control on the roads. This is the tire pressure in the wheels, which differs not only from seasonality, but also from the radius of the tires. Often, on a car, a table with the necessary tire pressure data for a Nissan Qashqai is located on the door frame pillar or on the inside of the gas tank flap. But if it is not there, you should familiarize yourself with the following recommendations from experts.

What should be the pressure in 16th radius wheels?

When monitoring pressure or inflating tires, it is worth considering that old pressure gauges, which many car enthusiasts use, can significantly overestimate readings due to excessive wear of the inner spring.

R16 wheels are the basic ones in the Qashqai crossover and have the most successful characteristics for car handling and the softness of its suspension. The indicators that the automaker recommends to adhere to look like this:

front tires of the car - 2.3 atmospheres;
if there are less than 3 passengers in the back row of the car, the rear tires must be inflated to 2.1 atmospheres;
if there are more than 3 passengers, then the rear wheels are inflated to 2.3 atmospheres.

Checking inflated tires should only be done after the car has been parked for a long time, when they have completely cooled down. When inflating tires to the values recommended by the car manufacturer, do not forget about the properties of air, which in the hot season is subject to expansion, and in the frosty season tends to contract.

It is for this reason that many experts recommend not raising the tire pressure to the recommended norm in the summer, leaving approximately 0.2 atmospheres for air expansion, and in winter, on the contrary, strictly adhering to the norm.

How to properly inflate 17-radius wheels

Non-standard tires installed on a car require more careful monitoring of tire inflation using modern electronic pressure gauges that have a small error; this will help avoid possible emergency situations due to low or excessively high pressure.

The automaker provides configurations for the Qashqai crossover with R17 wheels, the pressure in which should have indicators similar to those of 16-radius tires, namely:

before – 2.3 atmospheres;
rear when the car is not loaded – 2.1 atmospheres;
for more than 3 passengers - at least 2.3 atmospheres.

Due to the physical properties of air, which expands noticeably when heated and begins to contract at low temperatures, it is quite difficult to control and maintain the correct indicators. To make the task easier, the automaker has provided a special system called a pressure regulator.

This system can be installed as a separate option on the Nissan Qashqai crossover and with its help, inflate the car’s wheels directly from the passenger compartment. For these purposes, the pressure regulator is equipped with an air compressor and special valves, and its control panel is located on the crossover dashboard.

Conclusion

Tire pressure is one of the important conditions for safe and comfortable driving of modern cars, ignoring or ignorance of which can seriously affect the service life of suspension components. That is why it is extremely important to follow it correctly and always inflate the wheels in a timely manner.
