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
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 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.
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.
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 ;)
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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. .
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 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 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

Thank you very much! This is knowledge that is actually important in life and I appreciate the time you took to do this video.
Thank you so much. I just put too much air in my tire😩 I should have checked first but I am thankful moving forward for the REST of my life, lol.

🙏🏻Thank you so much, so basic but yet so important idk 🤷♀️ why we’re not taught this just like being taught to put gas in & etc
👍😃
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.
What?
Yes, the tire placard has been in that position for many years. Maybe people need to read an owner manual for their car.
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.
Thanks mate Simple and straight to the point
That’s nice to know I was always told to put about 33 psi in your tires

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.
Exactly what I needed and to the point. Thank you 🙏
Great information. Thank you so much.
God bless you and your family

Perfect, short, and easy . Thank you

I never knew what that sticker was for until today. Not forgetting it's written in Japanese. Thank you
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.
God bless you and thank you!!
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.
Thanks for sharing this great info. It's helped me a lot. God bless you brother ❤❤❤
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
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
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.
You helped me more than my own father
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
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
God bless you brother!! Thank you for the information!!.
He’s got a Michigan beanie on, I trust this guy 💯〽️
👍😂
Thankyou For All your help! Thorough and informative. God bless you. 💋 🤗
Thank you for this video 🙏🏽
Thank you!
Bless you man! Thanks for this 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. .
So what if you have a lifted truck and have bigger tires?
Thank you!!!
I love learning stuff that I never knew before and I'm 50 years old. LOL!
Shawn Duffy 👍😊
I always run them at max pressure not over and I never had any problems
I appreciate this post. Thank you so much.
👍😊 You’re welcome Kristy!
Thank you and happy New Year’s
Sir good day! Many thanks for the helpful information. All the best and god bless.

👍😃 You are spot on! I do the same thing.
Y r the best!
I'v been working with tires ( install and etc, . . . ) for the last 35 years, and 29 is too low.
Obvious ! ! ❤❤
Thanks man!!!
Thank you! 😊
You're awesome, man. Quick and to the point. Thanks!
Thanks for this. My light kept flashing and I was frustrated.
Thank you, very helpful.
What if you are not using stock tires? Should the chart still be followed?
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
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
Thnx dude, life saver
Thanks dad
Thanks you ❤
This video was very helpful
How do you know what is correct pressure if the vehicle doesn't have its original wheels and tyres?
the suspension is rated for the air pressure that is stated on the door jamb.
Safe tire pressure put 32 psi in the morning cold tire. When driving in hot weather it will go up to 35 psi your still safe in the pressure.
🎉🎉 Thanks
Thank you so much I’m a do it yourself woman 🤣🤣🤣66 at that but I have to do what I got to do thank you again for sharing 😬👌
👍😊
Ty good information
👍😊
thank you!!!!
👍😊
Is the TPMS system on a 2006 Camry LE direct or indirect?
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?
Thanks, So cold pressure is to check when car has sat all night ?
Yes
@@proclaimliberty2000 Thanks Neighbor !
Great video thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
👍😊
Thank you 🙂
👍😊
Good information 👍
What if you have aftermarket rims and tires that are bigger?
To the point!
Thanks
👍😊
thank you.
Very informative video
mine is 32 psi on the front wheels and 39 psi on the rear wheels. I drive a Chevy Cruze
What should the pressure be for a chevy cruze lt 2015
That works only if u keep same size tires and rims 😉
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?
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
Thank youuuuuu
👍😊
Thanks
@@joanbarber5384 👍😃
35 psi to 40 is the way to go, on a cold tyre.
Thank you sir
👍😊
Good stuff. Thanks
👍😊
So, if my tire air pressure reading is 32 when I check it using a tire gauge; I just add 3 PSI to it to total the 35 PSI?
32 psi is just fine especially driving around the city. I drive 2 to 3 psi lower than recommended. Less wear & tear on my car for daily City driving.
You are correct. Just keep adding until the gauge reads 35.
What if tire size has changed?
Never knew, thank you
I’m glad you found this. It’s surprising how many people do not know this.
So, my tire pressure is supposed to be 34 for both front and rear tires. Is it ok to drive my vehicle if it's slightly under, like, say 32 psi?
@@luigi7781 Yes. Personally I prefer a little over than under.
GOOOO Blue! WOOOT!

Nice info
Very helpful
