" DO NOT " RELY ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE FOR GOOD INFORMATION. IT JUST SHOWS THE MAXIMUM INFLATION RATE FOR THAT PARTICULAR TIRE. PERFORMANCE TIRES ON PASSENGER CARS CAN SHOW A MAXIMUM RATE OF 44 PSI THAT COULD MAKE YOUR CAR RIDE LIKE A ROCK. CHECK THE PLACARD ON YOUR CAR DOOR, THE OWNERS MANUAL OR CALL A NEW TIRE DEALER IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IMPROPER INFLATION CAN CAUSE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR, BAD GAS MILEAGE AND TIRE FAILURE. TAKE A FEW MINUTES OUT OF YOUR DAY AND FIND THE RIGHT ANSWER. THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN !!

The owners manual will tell you. there is also a sticker in the door jamb that has the tire pressures or even the truck area. I look at the max pressure amount on the tire itself, and then inflate a few pounds below that. That takes into account the pressure rise when the tires get hot. It gives you a little harder ride, but it saves you some on the gas.

depends on the tire it will say on the side wall of any tire what the psi should be my guess would be 30, 35

Look on the side wall of the tire. It will have max/min pressure there.

read the max inflation printed on the tire and generally subtract 5psi set them cold as the pressure will increase after driving
