What air pressure should my Tyres be?

On newer cars, the recommended tire pressure is most commonly listed on a sticker inside the driver’s door. If there’s no sticker on the door, you can usually find the specs in the owner’s manual. Most passenger cars will recommend 32 psi to 35 psi in the tires when they’re cold.

Should you run tires at max pressure?

Higher pressure generally is not dangerous, as long as you stay well below the “maximum inflation pressure.” That number is listed on each sidewall, and is much higher than your “recommended tire pressure” of 33 psi, Gary. So, in your case, I’d recommend that you put 35 or 36 psi in the tires and just leave it there.

Is 5 psi over too much?

While 5 psi doesn’t seem excessively low, remember, 5 psi is usually about 20% of the tire’s recommended pressure. An over inflated tire is stiff and the ride will be rough. On the other hand, higher tire pressures usually provide an improvement in cornering and steering response.

Should I overinflate tires in winter?
