What is the proper tire pressure for a Prizm?
Check your owners manual it will say, also the sidewall of the tires will say. I would say 35psi Paul from canadaNEVER look at a tire sidewall for pressure numbers! Different car models require different pressures. A tire can be placed on many different models, so how can a tire tell you what pressure YOUR car should have? CHECK THE OWNERS manual or inside the door sides or the glovebox for your car's pressure. THE ONLY TIRE PRESSURE LISTED ON A TIRE TELLS YOU THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE THAT THE TIRE CAN TAKE --IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOUR CAR REQUIRES.I consulted the user manual for my '93 Geo Prizm, and it said "Geo does not make tires...check the information supplied by the TIRE MANUFACTURER!" I could not find any info on the door posts...HUH?Open the glovebox and look at the sticker in there. Odd spot I know... If you have the 175's on it says 29psi front and rear.
