Look on the doorjamb of your car, in the glovebox or in your owner's manual; there should be a decal or placard somewhere on the car (or in the owner's book), which tells you how much air to put in the tires. Do not inflate your tires to the maximum on the sidewall!!!

between 40 and 44. But it also depends on the weather. If its hot I'd say about 38 or 39psi because the tires will gain pressure from the heat. SO, if your tires say 44 psi then in cold weather put it between 40 and 44 and it won't hurt any
Also look in your vehicle manual and it will also explain what I just did.

44 PSI is the maximum cold pressure for the tire. Your car may not handle well with that much air in each tire. Vehicles like hybrids get great gas mileage with this much air the tires but the ride is much rougher and noisier going over bumps in the road and it does not handle in the wind as well. I would stick with the vehicle manufacturer's' assigned PSI .

Optimal varies by vehicle, road conditions, and what you want to accomplish. Highest fuel economy on highways will be at highest pressure allowed for your tire, (in your case 44) softer ride and more traction off road will be at lower pressure. I routinely run 32 to 35 in my light truck tires, 20 for sand. Keep at least 32 in for highway use or the tire will overheat. Enjoy.

so you have C or D load range.
You can run 44 psi if it's on the sidewall
I had some D load range that could hold 65psi
might ride a little stiff, but no problem

If I'm remembering corectly, it's 35 psi per tire.

Kiffin is correct (provided the tires you now have match the vehicle manufacturer's original equipment tire specifications).

I always go 5 pounds under the max and get the best wear and milage.... I have been doing this for 27 years.
