What should the tire pressure be for a 2004 Monte Carlo SS?

Answer 1

Any 2000 to 2006 Monte Carlo tires should be filled to 35-37 psi. Running with less tire pressure will make the car handle poorly and also make the tires wear out the inner and outter edges of the tire prematurely . Thes holds true for any size tire on any car. ALWAYS put at least 3 pound more pressure into the tire than stated on the plycard or owners manual for SAFER handling and longer tire life.

The tire pressure stated by the manufacture gives you a smooth/ comfortable ride, but sacrifices even tire wear and reduced handling of the car or truck. REMEMBER the trouble with FIRESTONG tires on Ford trucks? The tire was not the problem, it was the tire pressure. FORD said to put only 28 to 30 psi in the tires (trucks weight was over 4800lbs) and if you had to make an emergence manuver the tire sidewall would fold under and the edge on the wheel would dig into the roadway and flip the truck. If tires had 35 to 38 psi this wouldnt have happened and FIRESTONE wouldnt have lost MILLIONS of dollars.
