Check the sticker, usually on the door frame driver's side, or in the glove box. It will have recommended tire pressures for the original tire size/type that came on it new.

Never never NEVER use the PSI rating on the tire to inflate it! The numbers on the tire sidewall are the MAXIMUM pressure, not the correct pressure. Filling the tire to the maximum causes the tires to wear out MUCH faster. Tire pressure is dependant on the load (weight) of the car, not the tire. Truck tires in some load ranges can have up to 80, 90, 100, even 120 psi but if you do that with an empty truck the tires wear out in no time.
Read the sticker on the drivers side door jamb- it tells the tire pressure for front and rear- which is sometimes different.

most car tires are 32 to 35 van and light trucks run up to the low 40s but it depends on the tire. Look for the number before PSI on the tires.

study the area wall of your tire the producer of the motor vehicle has no longer something to do with the tires. Tires are autonomous from any motor vehicle and manufacturers place labels on the area partitions to offer you a handbook to the place your tension could be. isn't uncommon to work out the three type with 50psi on the tires as is often recommended on the area wall. in spite of if your tires could be distinctive they could actual be 30psi. To be secure study the area wall of your tires and go away the stress 2 psi under what's recommended.

the amount of air your tire needs is stamped on the side of the tire.
if you cant read that then just wipe it off well and look for the numbers the size and the air pressure are all on the side of every tire. it should be around 30 psi but you have to look
look for a number and psi next to it

there are 2 ways to look at this. on the door frame is the best pressure for the ride of the car. the outher is what is best for tire wear. myself i choose tire wear. that would be 32 psi for all passenger tires. the number on the side wall is max pressure under load

30 - 35psi depending on the amount of weight carried (passengers).
The information plate in the driver's side door or the manual will tell you the manufacturer's recommended pressures.

if it is 3/4 ton or bigger it usually has load range e tires which hold 80psi cold. an suv usually has load range d which hold44psi cold and most any car tire holds 35psi
