what is the correct tire pressure

That's almost impossible to know without looking at your tires. If you look at what max pressure your tires have written on them, don't put that much in there. If it says max 45 put them about 35-37psi. That's just about what I do.

Door jam says 29psi, so I run em at about 32psi knowing they will loose some before I get around to checking again. Tires never have the recommended pressure on them, just the maximum pressure.

in auto shop in highschool he told us to inflate 2 pounds over, but I've heard 8 million things

my wagon...

front=32
rear=34
rear with weight=32


thats what honda says I should put. so I do

[Losiracer2]

good rule of thumb, for stock tires, 32-35psi. For low profile 16s, 17s, 18s go at least 35psi. I normally run my 17s at 40psi on the highway if I'm going on a road trip. But if i'm just cruising in town at home, I go 35psi. Anything above 40 starts to prematurely wear out the tire in the center, and you'd be getting less treadwear out of them...which would cost you more money in the longrun. Oh yeah and check your tires at LEAST once a month. Tires can lose anywhere from 4-7 lbs of air depending on how long the car sits for at a time. Also, if you've got Dill valvestems...we've been having a lot of problems w/ them failing, so if you do, have them checked out for any defects. We've switched to Schrader Valves now b/c of those failing.

P.S. I work at Discount Tire Co.

the standard "overall" average passenger car pressure is 32lbs.
this is not a stated fact anywhere except for cars that actually post this on their production sticker.

it is a good pressure for about 90 percent of road cars (and most of our CB's) but not accurate for special (and increasingly more common) tire/wheel setups.

welcome fellow bay area tuner...

i would suggest 32 however it would really depend on the tire itself. a cheaper softer sidewall tire may take upwards towards 40 psi. i inflate mine to 42 and the sidewall still sits on the ground.
