What's the correct air pressure for my tires?

This info is based on the car you mentioned; nothing else. the correct max air pressure is on the side of the tire. DO NOT use the label on the door frame. Tire pressures vary by tire size and manufacturer; however a typical passenger car tire is usually about 32-35 lbs. I personally like 35 in my front tires and 32 in the rear.

The label on the door frame is intended for the O.E tires that came with the car; replacement tires may not have the same pressure ratings... and for the new cars with air-pressure monitoring; the tire pressure listed in the door frame is the lowest pressure the system will accept before the tire light will come on - just an FYI.

About 35

32 is the accepted range for all cars. Depending on the temperature outside. If it's cold out out a little more in. If it's hot out a little less because heat expands and adds more psi to the inside tire after the car has been driven about 15 minutes. This is the correct answer. Unless you have some huge big foot tires on your car 32 is the standard. My corvette says 42 psi max but 32 is what it takes. If I put in any more than 34 my heads up display throws a trouble code saying my tire pressure sensor monitoring system needs servicing because there is too much air.

It's is 30 PSI on all for corners.

Tire sidewall shows maximum inflation.

If you put the tire in use where the weight of the car is greatest,

The casing can stay cool under the most extreme conditions for the longest time.

That is the engineers criteria for that rating.

Reduce your pressure from there based on your usage.

If you run the tire on the other axle and the car has no weight there, you can surmise from the factory sticker what the car engineer had in mind. Usually less.

If it jars your fillings reduce it. adjust one axle, then the other.

When you achieve optimum "feel", make sure you are above the minimum to keep the tire casing from heating up.

Adjust higher to improve fuel economy.

Take notes and find your goto setting and correct as required every few weeks.

Inspect tires for wear and correct alignment or pressure as required.

Well don't you people think that inflating the tires to their own spec would be a good idea? On the side wall on your tire it will tell you the max psi in parentheses. Inflate to about 4-5 pounds less than the spec.

Open the driver's side door and look on the frame. the manufacturer will have placed a sticker showing recommended tire inflation pressures.

Depends on what tires you have. Check with the tire shop. They will tell you.

look in the drivers door. you will find a sticker there with the info that you seek. that is the cold setting.

35 PSI
