Whatever the car's manufacturer tells you to. There's a label either in the glove box, door post, or inside the gas cap door that tells you the proper tire inflation pressure.
The numbers on the tire sidewall are the tire manufacturer's maximum safe inflation pressure and has little bearing upon what the proper pressure is for your situation.
FYI, it sounds like you have mis-matched your tires. That's not smart.

look lower back. i think of it says 40 psi max. you place on 35-36 psi for the terrific mpg and least tread positioned on. Ask any tire save everywhere. The psi on the door is the motor vehicle manufacturers "delicate journey" tension. the motor vehicle maker needs you to have a delicate journey of their motor vehicle and can desire to care much less approximately mpg and tread positioned on. The low psi creates a bulge on the front of the tire once you tension. Pushing bulges down the line takes gas and wears out tires. it somewhat is additionally possible to be sure the bulges from the passenger seat of yet another motor vehicle driving at the same time with. The max psi is what you put in the tire once you supply the offensive line of you extreme college soccer team a journey domicile. btw because of the fact which you're analyzing tires, have somebody coach you the form to define the month and date the tire improve into made. it somewhat is the final 4 digits of the DOT selection.

depending on the vehicle, it should be on a sticker on your door pillar or door edge on the drivers side it will tell you the optimal tire pressures front and rear for your vehicle. they aren't listed for ride quality they are listed for saftey and fuel economy of your vehicle. running a little more pressure will get you better gas mileage and you can haul a little more weight but at the expense of handling and tire life. running underinflated tires is a safety hazard due to heat build up in the side walls of your tires leading to blow outs. never exceed the max pressure listed on the tire sidewall and usually run within a few pounds of the door sticker pressure. most smaller cars run around 30 psi, midsize,larger cars and mini vans usually run 32-35 psi, 1/2 ton trucks are 35-40 and 3/4 ton and 1 tons are typically 50-80psi. if nothing else you can check with the manufacturer of the vehicle, they'll know. hope this helps.

The pressure marked on the tyre is the maximum as per the tyre manufacturer, who has no clue what car you put it on. Look in your manual, or the sticker on the door jamb for the recommended pressure for your vehicle.

If the tires are all the same, follow the car's manual. If they are not the same size you might want consult a car dealer maintenance department.

not over what the tire mfg. says. the car builder usuall underinflates the tires to give it a softer ride, I'd go for the middle of the two
