A GMC Yukon Denali with either a P265/70R16 111S or P265/70R17 113S tire has a recommended inflation pressure of 35 psi front and 35 psi rear cold according to the Bennett Garfield Tire Guide. This information can also be found on a metal information plate rivited to the inside of the drivers door frame.
The information molded on the sidewall of the tire only indicates the maximum safe inflation pressure for that particular tire, which in these sizes could be 35, 41 or 44 psi depending on brand/model of tire fitted to the vehicle. In most cases the maximum pressure is not the same as the recommended pressure for your partucular vehicle as determined by the vehicle manufacturer. Always go with the vehicle manufacturers recommendation for tire pressure, which in this case is 35 psi. Always check your pressures when the vehicle is cold - has not been driven for at least a few hours.

Usually somewhere on the vehicle there is a plate that has the information of tire pressure with the tire size on the wheels.
If the tire size is different:
added 2-3 psi (pounds per square inch) if the tire is bigger
if the tire is smaller decrease the psi but not too much.
*** in both instances know what the tire can hold; it is molded onto the tire sidewall and adjust the pressure when the car tire is cold

As others have said, check the inside of the door jam - you should find a label here that will have the manufacturer's recommened pressure.
DO NOT use the labelling on the side of the tire as a guide! The PSI noted on the tire is the maximum pressure for that make/model tire - not the pressure it should be inflated to.

It depends on their sizes and models,but the best way is to go on a tire supply store,where they are fixing and changing tires as well,and they had a list of tire products that indicates the allowable air pressure(psi) on every tires.

Go by the manufacturer of the vehicle's recommended PSI over the tire's maker PSI. On SUV like the Ford Explorer it was the cause of accidents.

If you currently run the standard size tires that came on the vehicle it will say on a sticker on the inside of the driver side door.

The correct tire presure for max load at cold is written on the side of youre tire in little letters some times by the rim.

Depends on the tires. The correct pressure is written along the side of each tire followed by "PSI" (Pounds per Square Inch).

Some tires are different than others. You should look on the side of the tire. The print may be small and you may have to wipe the tire down to see it.

Depends on the type of tire, speed to be travelled and weight in vehicle. Check with manufacturer.
