Tire Inflation
How much air should I put in my
tires?
Proper inflation is the single most important part of tire care. The
inflation pressure on the side of the tire is the MAXIMUM operating pressure. It
is not necessarily the right inflation for your vehicle. Always use the
inflation recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. You can find it in your
owner's manual, posted on the edge of the driver's door, on a door post or on
the inside of the glovebox door. Always check inflation when tires are COLD:
when the vehicle has been driven less than a mile or one hour or more after
driving. Use a good quality tire gauge. Note: It's natural for radial tires to
have a slight bulge in the sidewall at their proper inflation pressure. Check or
adjust inflation every few weeks, before any long trip or if traveling with a
heavy load. And don't forget to check the spare.
