Chevrolet Spark tires consistently maintain low psi, requiring weekly air refills on Chevrolet Spark

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Spark owners report experiencing issues with low tire pressure that requires weekly air refills. These problems can be exacerbated by temperature variations, as tire pressure may drop approximately 1 psi for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit decrease, prompting owners to inflate tires 3 to 5 psi above recommended settings during colder months. Additionally, regular maintenance is crucial, with many owners noting that tires can lose about 1 psi each month after being filled, making monthly checks essential for proper inflation. Understanding the optimal tire pressure, as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label, is also important, as it represents the minimum pressure needed for the vehicle's load capacity. Furthermore, owners should be attentive to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts, as ignoring the warning light can lead to driving with insufficient tire air pressure, which poses safety risks.
