Sorry,. We need more info. Make, model, wheel size are all contributing factors. Year is also a factor, as is the tire brand. The tire does not always say the necessary pressure on the side, and the "mechanic" who answered just gave an answer without knowing if you own a tundra or a carolla. Does he put 30 in every tire ever? Judging by his spelling, i will not go to his shop.

Two problems with previous answers:
(1) The numbers on the sidewall of the tire are maximums only and do not depend on the particular vehicle. DO NOT use those numbers!!!
(2) The range 30-35 psi is "typical" but may not be the correct pressure for your vehicle. For example, my pickup requires 40 psi in front and 35 in rear, while my wife's wagon requires 29 psi in front and 28 in rear.
Look in your owner's manual or on the sticker on the driver's door for the correct pressure for your particular car with the correct size tires.

It does depend on the tire only, not the make and model of vehicle that you drive. If you have a car, then you are looking at about 32, an SUV or truck with 4X4 tires will be around 44, a van would be around 32-34. A SUV with regular tires (street tires, not 4X4) would be around 32-34 as well. It will be marked on all sidwalls of tires. It is required by law for them to print it on there. You will see where it says **** lbs at **PSI. Just read the PSI number only. The other number is for the max weight on that tire that is allowed and at that PSI.

Read the side of the tire. It's often recommended 32 to 35 PSI. Sometimes the manual will recommend 28 for "the best ride", but your gas mileage will suffer a bit for that softer ride.

The inflation pressure is printed on the side of each tire. I have a Camry and the tires have a maximum pressure of 34 PSI.

it is very true that friction acts against the direction of motion actually there is an extension to this statement that needs to be considered which is more relevant and that is friction acts against the direction of motion or the tendency for motion. the wheel comes into contact with respect to the ground and travels along with it without slip and leaves contact. this means that the case of friction is a case of static friction and not sliding or dynamic friction. thus the friction force is not moving through any distance and consequently does no work. on the other hand this friction is what we call the traction capability because if we apply a greater force at the point of contact than can be supported by this friction force (traction force) the wheel would skid. thus the friction force would be directed in the direction of motion of the bicycle on both the wheels in other words from right to left

Doesn't depend on the car, depends on the tire. It will say on the side of the tire somewhere XX psi. That's your tire pressure.

Protruckdriver71 by far has the most accurate and thorough answer. I can't even add anything else to it as he's covered what you need to know.
