how to know the pressure to set when pumping ur car tyres?

Answer 1

there will be alot of small writing on the tire but somewhere in that writting it should say

"inflate to __ psi"

that number before those 3 initials is the max you should inflate your tires to... it is best to check the air in your tires when they are cold, meaning go to your local gas station hopefully a couple minutes away air them up and then run your errands.

Answer 2

Never look at the side of the tire. The max pressure listed there means before the tire becomes dangerous. Remember, the tire company has no idea what kind of car that tire was installed on. All cars are different, but as a rule of thumb, 30 to 32 psi seems to be the most common, and should be safe, if you don't have a gauge handy, to get you to a gas station. There should be a sticker with this information in one of the door jambs, or in the trunk, under the hood, or in the glove box. Never use generic numbers, because the correct pressure depends on the weight of your car, and the size tire. After all, pressure is measured in pounds (weight) per square inch (area of tyre). Too much is as dangerous as too little, and both will ruin you tires. Besides, you can get a pressure gauge for about a dollar. Keep one in the glovebox, and you'll never go wrong.

Answer 4
