Recommended Psi

…Also, many vehicle manufacturer's owner's manuals recommend operating winter tires several psi higher than their recommended pressures for three-season tires. To gain a better understanding on why a psi of 3 to 5 higher is recommended for your winter tires, read "Higher Tire Pressures…

…is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Tire pressure can vary on several things, including: * Changes in temperature * Changes in altitude * TimeFor best results, look for a placard on the inside of the driver's door or a similar chart in the owner's manual to determine the recommended psi for…

…requires inflating tires 1 psi higher than recommended on the placard for every 10 F difference in temperature between interior and exterior temperatures. Afternoon Ambient Temperature Increase.* Set 2 psi above vehicle manufacturer's cold inflation recommendations when installing new tires or…

…pressure recommendation to keep things simple. Usually, the OEM defaults to the worst case scenario of fully loaded and higher speed use, which puts a pretty high psi recommendation on the placard. From a tire durability standpoint, it's better to be 5 psi over than 1 psi under. Therefore,…

…budgets. Don't forget to check the pressure when the tires are cold. Pressure fluctuations of 10 psi or more can occur when the tires' temperatures rise. For everyday driving, Tire Rack recommends following the tire pressure listed for each specific year, make and model. Most, if not all,…

…P-metric Light Load Standard Load Extra Load 35 psi 35 psi 41 psi Euro-metric Standard Reinforced or Extra Load 36 psi 42 psi However, the tire's maximum inflation pressure may be greater, such as 300 kPa (44 psi) in this example or even 350 kPa (51 psi). This is done to accommodate the vehicle…

…5%. You would experience a significant loss of steering precision and cornering stability. While 6 psi doesn't seem excessively low, remember, it usually represents about 20% of the tire's recommended pressure. Disadvantages of Overinflation An overinflated tire is stiff and unyielding and the size…

…tire inflation pressures they believe best fine-tune the tires' capabilities to their specific vehicle makes and models. The pounds per square inch (psi) pressure number branded on the tire's sidewall identifies the maximum cold inflation pressure that specific tire is rated to hold. However, the…

…results in a loss of about 5 psi, which if not adjusted for can cause problems both with tire wear and safety. Bear in mind that several vehicle manufacturer's owner's manuals recommend operating winter tires several psi (typically 3-5) higher than their recommended pressures for summer and…
