Recommended Tire Pressure

…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…

…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…

…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…

…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…

…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…

…the tire size on the front axle, rear axle and spare tire (if so equipped) fitted as Original Equipment and provides the vehicle manufacturer's standard cold tire pressure recommendations. Because it is possible for vehicle manufacturers to provide alternate cold inflation pressure recommendations…

…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).…

…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…

…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…

…in temperature. This is one of the reasons it's recommended that tire pressures be checked early in the morning before ambient temperatures, the sun's radiant heat, or the heat generated by driving causes the tire pressure to rise. And while tires appear solid, if you could see their microscopic…

…allow tires to be more efficient at radiating heat and the tires will run cooler, building up less hot tire pressure. In this case, the 3-5 psi higher recommended inflation pressure increase helps offset the reduced hot tire pressures resulting from less heat buildup. And finally, all tire pressures…

…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…
