So, I went to get air in my tires at Discount Tires and they where at 38 PSI they and they put them at 35. Is that OK, or should I go back and put them at 38.
Chris35 is fine. But really these cars like the 32-33 that Honda and Toyota spec for these size tires and cars. Drop it to the sticker specs in the morning before driving it for best accuracy.
Discount usually goes slightly above because when your tires are warm the pressure increases 2-3 psi.
I’d be willing to bet if you check it in the morning before driving, you’d be around the 33 cold PSI that’s recommended by Honda.
GerardMy tires are supposed to be at 33 psi. I got them at about 35psi right now (cold) just because I live in western NY and the temp keeps dropping on random days. Like it’s high 60s right now (8:30pm-ish) and it’s gonna snow tomorrow.
RaymondAlways go by what the door says. The more pressure you got the better fuel economy you’re going to have tho. 38 is probably a good spot, honestly.
JohnThe door sticker is for the tires that the car left the factory with. Once you get new tires, you go off the tire manufacturer specs. The vehicle manufacturer has no way to predict what type of tire you’re putting on the car once it leaves the factory.
MikeLook at the tires if they are wearing on the inside and outside then under inflated if they are wearing on the middle that’s over inflated I would run 40 PSI that will give you better fuel milage and the tires don’t cup as much an under inflated tire only gets 2/3 the milage that one that is inflated 4-5 psi over recommended and all tires are not made the same that sticker gets you close tho.
EricBoth of those are technically ‘wrong,’ but within the range of the door sticker and the max pressure for the tire. Pick whatever number you like in that range and go with it.
I almost always set mine at 35, but you do you.
TobinRun what the manufacturer says. Can you go above or below? Yes. But the manufacturer recommended provides a tested balance between handling and wear.
ZackaryPlacard on the car says 35 probably, it personal preference tbh, just don’t go to mx on the tire unless your using the full load for it, I keep my offroads at 40 or if I’m hevey load I’ll go up to max for a pickup camper, my normal tires I keep at 38 all year just what you want them at as long as it not pass max psi, but you should be good at that psi
TerrenceSee how the spare is at 60? So you can use it as a pressure tank for when tyres are under inflated or have a slow leak to get you out of trouble. Just need a siphon pipe!
AmyLeave them. Most places put them at 38 as it’s easier, but it’s rarely what’s recommended.
Also, only ever check the reading and refill when tyres are cold, as it’s never an accurate reading when warm.
IsaiahThat page for tire and loading info is correct, front and rear tires should be at 32 psi. The side of your tire tells you that the max amount of air pressure in the tire that is okay is 44 psi. 35-38 psi won’t hurt your tires, but it is probably a good idea to put them back to spec 32 psi as the car requires.
PaulThe sticker is a guideline for the specific tyres that were on the vehicle when new. Always go by the recommended tyre pressures of your current tyre manufacturer. And yes in the UK we say tyres, not tires.
Martinif they were at 38psi why did you go to get air in? thee was too much in them already.
KevinMy recommendation is to do what the information label on the vehicle says. That pressure is cold or before driving. Driving will raise it from 1 to 3 PSI.
Ambient air temperature also affects pressure. 35 PSI set cold at 50 degrees will only be about 30 PSI cold when the temp drops to 0, and it will climb to about 40 cold at 100 degrees. This is why you don’t set it and forget it.
MichaelThis isn’t the Indy 500 where tire pressure is critical. 38 is fine, or even 35 is fine. Warm tires will be a couple of pounds higher. As long as they are even, you’re ok.
BrianWell the door sticker says 32, but I like to go with the tire sidewall pressure of 38, If you are a real stickler Weigh each tire and see the load on each tire, Then contact the manufacturer of the tire and get the right pressure for each tire with reguard to the load, The great thing is it will change with fuel and passenger load, 32 or 38 It really does not matter for on road street travel, If going off-road or racing change the pressure accordingly
DevynnWith summer coming, 35 as a hot pressure is fine. During the winter, 38 helps prevent your pressures from dropping too low when it gets cold overnight, but you won’t be experiencing that during the summer. (Used to work there)
FranklinSide door recommendations are for that particular size tire, doesn’t matter if it’s the original or aftermarket tires. If you search an entire manufacturer’s website, they should have a pressure to weight chart with minimum and maximum precious you could run. So go ahead and use the door chart, and unless you’re overloading your vehicle, you don’t need to go to the max tire pressure on the tire.
KenAlways go by the sticker on the door, that’s manufacturer recommended. The number on the tire is what capacity the tire is capable of, not manufacture recommended.
