When airing up my tires which pressure is it best to go off of the tire pressure indicated on the trie or on the door panel? I have heard from different friends to use one or the other. I typically dont haul heavy loads and keep my truck on the street for the most part right now. Thanks for any input

 

That would depend on whether or not you have the original tires on the vehicle. If so use the pressure listed on the sticker in the drivers door jam. If they are not original tires then I would suggest you use the manufacturers suggested tire pressure. I hope this helps you.

Tire manufacturers don't have a suggested tire pressure, just max psi.

 

tire pressure for our truck tires can be between 40-80psi.
If the max psi is 80, pump it up to maybe... IDK, it depends on if you haul stuff alot
or have alot of passengers.
here, look at this:

 

Thanks for the info. I dont typicaly haul heavy loads or go mudding often right now . I will keep that in mind. Thanks again

 

also depends if you have passenger tires or lt tires. what kind of vehicle do you have?

 

Always go by the door. The tire only lists max cold pressure and nothing else.

 

Seems that most road tires are between 28 to 34 psi, but as Mille Racer 69 posted image shows go by what kind of wear you are getting.... the door placard is just a rule of thumb but your load and temp range are going to have some bearing... in the summer here in Texas where its been 103 every day I have to adj the pressure down a bit to keep it in range but come winter when we get the bitter bitting cold days of the 50's I might have to add a bit-o-air...

 

x2 if your not towing that should work good. you can always ask your tire store.
