Can't believe I have had multiple cars for decades and I am just learning this. For decades I have been thinking 32 was the correct psi for all my cars. Thx so much for explanation!!!
Thank you so much. I’m an older lady and I had no idea without my manual. Thanks to you I now know how to correctly add air to my tires. Many blessings and stay safe and healthy
Thank you I did not know that info. I suspected that it wasn’t a good idea to inflate the tires to the max pressure amount that’s listed on the side of the tire. I just bought 4 new tires and when I got home I noticed that one of the tires was severely under inflated. I even wondered if it had a hole in it. It turns out the tire is fine and the shop just did a half baked job. I did the whole thing through Amazon and right off the bat before the tires were even installed I got the vibe from them that they felt like Amazon didn’t pay them enough to do the job.
If monitor your tire pressures once a month, keep your recommended pressure. If you plan on towing or carrying more weight, increase your tire pressures ahead of those times. The posted air pressures is the best compromise for safety foremost and then handling and tire wear. If you are not carrying excess weight, you can go two or three pounds less than recommended, but it can affect handling and stability. The recommendation is a good compromise and will protect you and everyone around you. I try to stay at that pressure winter and summer.
Thank you for showing us how to check out the correct car tire pressure. This is the easiest way. It just took me a couple of second checked it out. Saved me a lot of time. 😄
Thanks so much.. smashing quick advise.. you gem!.. great video . First time I've heard someone mention this. .a handy tip, especially if you are in a new car, to the one you are used to, etc. Cheers ;)
For anyone reading this; while his explanation is perfectly acceptable it isn't the best possible. You can almost certainly get better performance, longer life and more saftey for your particular use.
Yep. It'll either be there or in the manual. It's often the best compromise and is a safe place. But, equally, you can alter them slightly to your preferences or needs, but I always start with the manufacturers recommended pressures. To be honest, they're usually pretty good recommendations.
A friend of mine always goes +10 psi on all tires and has been doing that for years. On a set of Goodyear triple treads I never noticed uneven tread wear on his 2012 Honda Pilot since new, recently replaced tires due to a road hazard blowout . I never saw uneven tread wear, but you feel every bump and the suspension takes a beating. He also went +10 psi on his new, 2024 Toyota 4 Runner. I go +2 psi , high altitude, to allow for cold weather and making trips to lower altitude. Some tires I’ve seen max 35 psi on sidewall max load while others 50 psi, same load rating. Depends somewhat on # of plies. I’d follow mfg recommended pressure +2, just to give a little edge, or more as recommended by the mfg for load, as most tires leak a little and no one regularly checks them because of the crappy tire pressure monitoring systems installed on all new cars and trucks.
Just a caveat… Audi tire pressure listed on the door is for the car at max capacity load…. There is a chart in the owners manual that decreases the tire pressure if there are 2 or less occupants. If you inflate the tires to the door pressure, they are over inflated and the car darts all over the road. Its crap that they dont mention it on the door. I would not have known except I aired up the tires on my SQ5 and R8V10 at the same time and then test drove them. I had to take out as much as 8lbs to get it correct. Good video.
I always look at the tire's maximum cold PSI rating and set it at that. air stabilizes the tire and the lower you go the more slop you get. I set my tires at 50 psi and it definitely has more grip at that pressure. anything less than 40 PSI and my tires will spin through first gear. I've been doing it for decades with no problems..
Thank you so very much for this video. I needed to know and understand this. I am a widow and I have a tire gauge and my tires have different pressure. I need to know what numbers on the gauge are the ones to go by. Is it the numbers in red or the ones in black?
Heavier the car is, more pressure you need. If you wanna save gas ad 15 % more. Also if you have lower profile tires ad more pressure. Factory plate shows the most comfortable pressure. For racing also ad more pressure. My Astra should consume 4,2 liter per 100 km on highway but with 2,5 bar front and 2,4 bar rear i can go about 3,8 liter per 100 km. I have lightered my car about 150 kilos and chiptuned it. With full weight car i would use 2,6 front and 2,6 rear. This also depends on tires. If some one used 25 % pressure than in factor plate its fine as long as you have even tear wear.
That's not a discrepancy. You're misinterpreting. One is a recommendation, with most likely safety (rather than drive ability, car noise, fuel economy and turning) being prioritised. The other advises what the safe maximum capacity is, not recommending what it should be at
Lord almighty! Thank you, I knew something was up, I got a "new to me" used car and I didn't feel as if it was to spec. Ill have to drop it down to 29.
Tire air pressure is tire specific. Not vehicle specific. The sticker on the piller is only intended to be used with factory installed tires, from the manufacturer. And it's a good idea to deflate by 10%, depending on terrain and winter conditions Thanks for the info
Never used the B pillar on my Truck or Explorer. I have always run the max PSI on the tire. I buy nothing Michelin Defender LTX M/S but 70,000 mile tires and I get 70,000 miles every time. .
Their are sooooooooo many people that fill their tires that way you have no idea. I thought that`s what I`m supposed to do as well until I saw this video!
I have an E150 Ford van. But it's a conversion van with a lot of added weight that wasn't there from the factory. Wood cabinetry, automatic rear bench seat folds into a bed, 4 captains chairs, TV. Wouldn't that change the recommended PSI that's on the door? It says 41 PSI
I usually go 10% more than the listed psi just to be safe. This way you are guaranteed to not go lower for a few months. I was told that this is totally safe. Thoughts ?
I have recommended front 33 and rear 30, but always when I go to the service they make 37/35 and I curious why. Specially if you drive on highway in summer and see how your tire pressure goes up till 40 or so.
I heard some tires actually require more than 35 just have to look at the weight on the sides....my old tires my mechanic told me fill to 40 said I had to much rubber on the ground.....I have new tires different car now don't kno how much air to put in these
I understand that. But what should The pressure be set to in warm weather? If my placard says 35 psi in cold weather, what PSI do I set it for in warm weather
@@qfingers10 The placard is not for cold weather. Cold means the temperature of a tire that has sat overnight no matter what the outdoor temperature is. Does that make sense?
Are they the same size? Because only the tire will change if you have different rims on them. Then you are customizing your truck and that's kind of a gray area

Yes, the tire placard has been in that position for many years. Maybe people need to read an owner manual for their car.

What?
@@grandtheftbitcoinIt's not perfect, but you can get perfect....somehow....somewhere....someplace
I always thought it was on the driver side door but some mechanic told me 35 psi when it’s 29 psi thanks for the info!

well i never knew this! and years im driving!!.... thank you so much 👍
That’s nice to know I was always told to put about 33 psi in your tires
Thank you so very much for this video. I needed to know and understand this. I am a widow and I have a tire gauge and my tires have different pressure. I need to know what numbers on the gauge are the ones to go by. Is it the numbers in red or the ones in black?
Hi. Your gauge may show red for metric and black for psi units. There’s likely a “kPa” and “psi”. Use the psi numbers.
@@sammyday3341 OK THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS HAS HELPED ME A LOT. GOD BLESS YOU

Thank You So Much for the Accurate , Brief & Clear Tutorial! Good God Blessed You Too! 🕯🌷🕊♥️🌍

From the looks of it.. It seems like if you change to a bigger rim size then you will have to change the recommended psi
Sir good day! Many thanks for the helpful information. All the best and god bless.

Engine load is more at the front, do you think keeping 2 psi more in the fromt would be better? 32 front and 30 behind.
Bless you man! Thanks for this info!
Mine says 35psi on door jam, but tires say 51max. Huge discrepancy. Good info!
LOL, Max is the maximum capacity a tyre can handle, doesnt mean you put 51.
That's not a discrepancy. You're misinterpreting. One is a recommendation, with most likely safety (rather than drive ability, car noise, fuel economy and turning) being prioritised. The other advises what the safe maximum capacity is, not recommending what it should be at
My tire says 51 max and 30 cold temp. I put 35-37psi for best handling/driving experience.
Max is for things like towing and heavy loads. Long story short 35 is correct.
@@DjStalin100 I put 38lbs.The plate says 33 . I have noticed an improvement in drive ability .
Lord almighty! Thank you, I knew something was up, I got a "new to me" used car and I didn't feel as if it was to spec. Ill have to drop it down to 29.
So what if you have a lifted truck and have bigger tires?
You helped me more than my own father
Exactly what I needed and to the point. Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the info
Please don’t give bad info. Max tire pressure is on the tire. Going beyond the recommended on the vehicle can cause the tires to wear down faster.
I appreciate this post. Thank you so much.
👍😊 You’re welcome Kristy!
Thank you for this video 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing this great info. It's helped me a lot. God bless you brother ❤❤❤
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
Thank you and happy New Year’s
Never used the B pillar on my Truck or Explorer. I have always run the max PSI on the tire. I buy nothing Michelin Defender LTX M/S but 70,000 mile tires and I get 70,000 miles every time. .
What if tire sizes been changed?
If someone has a higher psi let's say they added bigger rims and low pro tire, max tire psi is higher and tire pressure should be higher.
Thankyou For All your help! Thorough and informative. God bless you. 💋 🤗
the suspension is rated for the air pressure that is stated on the door jamb.
Thank you, very helpful.
This video was very helpful

I always run them at max pressure not over and I never had any problems
Thanks for this. My light kept flashing and I was frustrated.
Thank you so much!!
What if you have aftermarket rims and tires that are bigger?
Very informative video
I usually go 10% more than the listed psi just to be safe. This way you are guaranteed to not go lower for a few months. I was told that this is totally safe. Thoughts ?
👍😃 You are spot on! I do the same thing.
Is the TPMS system on a 2006 Camry LE direct or indirect?
What should the pressure be for a chevy cruze lt 2015
Good information 👍
What if the tires are a different size than what came on the vehicle new?
Ty good information
👍😊
Y r the best!
What if tire size has changed?
Thnx dude, life saver
What if you are not using stock tires? Should the chart still be followed?
I have recommended front 33 and rear 30, but always when I go to the service they make 37/35 and I curious why. Specially if you drive on highway in summer and see how your tire pressure goes up till 40 or so.
Yeah that’s really strange. You’ll have to ask them why?
I heard some tires actually require more than 35 just have to look at the weight on the sides....my old tires my mechanic told me fill to 40 said I had to much rubber on the ground.....I have new tires different car now don't kno how much air to put in these

Thanks man!!!
You're awesome, man. Quick and to the point. Thanks!
What if the vehicle isn’t driven much, sometimes for months. How often should the air be checked or does it need to be?
Check it every 3 months

So my truck is supposed to have 255/65/r17s on it and I put 245/ 60/r17s on it; how do I know what air pressure I should put in my tires?

Good stuff. Thanks

That’s all fine and dandy but how do you adjust it for hot weather. There’s no hot weather pressure on the door label
@@qfingers10 This is why you need to seasonally adjust the tire pressure as outdoor temperatures rise and fall.
I understand that. But what should The pressure be set to in warm weather? If my placard says 35 psi in cold weather, what PSI do I set it for in warm weather

Are they the same size? Because only the tire will change if you have different rims on them. Then you are customizing your truck and that's kind of a gray area
theres a chart out there somewhere that shows u. but thats dependent on load weight and psi. but by now im pretty sure youve figured that out already
How do you know what is correct pressure if the vehicle doesn't have its original wheels and tyres?
What if the psi says 33 for the stock tires but then you upgrade say a size bigger, tires and wheels should it still be 33 psi?
@@kevinellis8967 It definitely needs to be higher, but no more than listed on the tire.
Is it the same thing if you get brand set of wheels? I have new rims and tires on my car now do I still go by the labels on the door jam?
35 psi to 40 is the way to go, on a cold tyre.
What if you change the tires size ?

Yes
