Recommended Tire Pressure

…right pressure depends on the tire size and the vehicle. There is no such thing as a specific recommended pressure for a certain brand and model of tire. 3. The manufacturer's recommended pressure on the door jamb is a great place to start. It will list a recommended pressure or pressures, and…

…assume the maximum tire pressure listed on the tire's sidewall is what is recommended for proper inflation. However, that number represents the maximum pressure that's safely allowed, but is likely higher than what is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Tire pressure can vary on several…

…tire inflation pressure for this tire is 300 kPa (44 psi). It is important to note that the maximum load is rated at an industry specified tire inflation pressure that is often lower then the tire's absolute maximum tire pressure. The tire pressures used to determine the maximum load the tire is…

…the recommended tire pressure -- even if you are increasing or decreasing tire size. Finally, when checking and adjusting tire inflation pressures, the "right" inflation pressures are those provided by the vehicle manufacturer, not the maximum inflation pressure branded on the tire's…

…inflation pressure that specific tire is rated to hold. However, the tire's maximum pressure is not necessarily the correct pressure for every vehicle upon which the tire can be used (almost all vehicle manufacturers' recommended tire inflation pressures are less than the tires' maximum pressure).…

…pressures to accommodate higher than North American highway speeds and heavier than typical two-passenger loads. In order to accommodate higher speeds, the tire size and inflation pressure recommendations are tuned beyond what is branded on the tire's sidewalls. These increases in recommended tire…

…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 of its footprint in contact with the road is reduced. If a vehicle's tires are overinflated by 6 psi, they could be damaged more…

…cold inflation recommendations. Do Not Release Hot Tire Pressure if any of these variables could be the cause of measured tire pressure exceeding the maximum psi branded on the tire's sidewall by the 2, 4 or 6 psi indicated above for the various conditions. This temporary pressure increase is…

…recommended inflation pressures of 29 psi front and 33 psi rear, while the other car had its tires inflated 30% lower (20 psi in the front and 23 psi in the rear). We chose 30% under-inflation because it was the percentage of loss initially established by the US DOT at which passive pressure…

…the vehicle manufacturer's recommended tire pressure listed on their vehicle's tire placard or in its owner's manual, as well as provides the Street Survival participants the opportunity to use a tire pressure gauge and air hose to check and reset pressures. Note: Because the Street Survival…

…* Run Flat About Run-Flat Tires * Many run-flat tires are only applicable to the vehicle on which they are O.E. * All run-flat tires require a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) * Read more about run-flat tires * % vs. Best In Category * Price * Would You Recommend * Wet [+] * Dry [+] * Winter/…

…the vehicle's recommended "cold" inflation pressures correspond with the tire's maximum inflation pressure, it will often appear that too much tire pressure is present. However, this extra "hot" tire pressure is temporary and should NOT be bled off to return the tire pressure to within the maximum…

…Acura MDX SUV uses the exact same tire size as a 2010 Chrysler 300 sedan. Remember that the pressure listed on the sidewall is a maximum pressure only, not a recommended pressure. Instead, use the air pressure recommended in the vehicle's owner's manual or tire information placard label. The…

…to a Friend Tire Tech: Air Pressure for Competition Tires The table below suggests tire inflation pressures for competitive driving. Tires should be reset to normal inflation pressures when returned to the street. These recommendations should be used as a starting point. Pressure can be adjusted…
