If you run 32 to 35 lbs. of air you will be in good shape.

If you read the Tire it will give you a Maximum Pressure to use, try to keep it 2 to 4 PSI below that rating. Every tire is different so read the tire.
The sticker inside the door is only for the brand and model of tires the car came with so it's not reliable.
If you dont have enought air your tires will heat up and explode (blowout), you will also feel the car drifting at speed. It will also cost you a lot more for Fuel.
Too much pressure and the tire will explode when you inflate it.

depends on the tire, the car it's mounted on, what type of driving you plan to do with the tire, etc.
Normally, you can open the drivers door and look for the door sticker which will tell you the proper inflation pressure for each tire. Sometimes this info is located on the spare tire cover, and if it's a VW, it might be on the inside of the fuel door.
Easiest way to know is to check the owners manual for you car if you're unable to locate the stickers with the information.
If you're still having problems, take the car to a mechanic and have them fill your tires.

It is different for different tires, but all you have to do is look on the tire and it should tell you the max PSI (pounds per square inch) for the tire. The info should be close to the rim on the side wall.

Tire air pressure is measured in PSI I think on average it is between 32-36 psi depending on your climate. Check your vehicle users manual.

It will tell you on the side of the tire what the recommended air pressure is.

read your car manual as the weight of the car will justify the air pressure. Or go to kwik fit and ask the man who can.

Look for the tire placard it's usually on the driver side door jamb. If not look on the passenger side door jamb or on the fuel door.

Take your car to the nearest service station where you get your gas and ask the attendant to check your tire pressure. Also ask him what pressure you should maintain. If you are a good customer, he should accomodate your request.
