The door: the number on the tire is its maximum pressure, the number on the load sticker in your car is specific to the car and is set to maximize efficiency, braking, and handling for your vehicle.
Each vehicle has a manufacturers recommended tire pressure. It will be listed on a label on the drivers door jamb or, the owners manual.
PSI is the abbreviation used to denote tire pressure. Tire pressure refers to how much air should be inflated into a car's tires.
Proper Tire pressures for Your vehicle should be listed on the door jamb on the Drivers side of your vehicle..the listing for the Max pressure your tire will hold is listed on the sidewall of the tires. but is NOt the same as the recommended pressure for Your vehicle..YOu Always go with the one thats listed on the car..Not the tire..(Personally i find you get a smoother ride if you run the tires a cpl pounds lighter.. say 2-3lbs less..esp in trucks.)
the ideal tire pressure is usually printed on the side wall of the tireComment from Asker:But the standard tire size for my vehicle (2006 Ford Escape XLT 4x4 Automatic) is 235 70 R16, which I changed to 225 70 R16. Since the tire size is slightly different than the standard one, I think it may be lower than the printed recommended pressure in car's door (not on the side wall of the tire, because this one shows the max pressure but not the recommended pressure).
The tire pressure for vehicles which should be on a sticker, usually on the inside of the door, is most applicable to the original tires. You should use the tire pressure stamped on the tires which are on the car (the law requires this info be on the tires). Probably around 35psi. Many Festy owners set their pressure about 5 lbs. lower on the rear tires to improve ride (there's no rear weight in a stiva). I believe I'm running 34 front, 29 rear.
Tire pressure depends on the tire. The pressure recommendation that come with the car are for the specific type, size and rating that came on the car.
The tire pressure is listed in a label on the door jamb, in the owners manual, or somewhere else on the car.
on the door jam of the car you should see a decal with the proper tire pressure for your car
Look in the door jamb. Your correct tire pressure will be listed on the sticker there, near your VIN#
the tire will give max pressure on side of tire, also if this tire size is original to car it will be on door sticker ,usually door sticker is on driver side door post with gvw rating.
there should be a sticker on the door jam of your car (if not check the manual) of what the manufacturer recommended tire pressure.
If you open the drivers side door, there should be information on the side of the door that would touch the car frame one of the things it lists is tire pressure.
The recommended tire pressure is determined by the car maker and is on the sticker on the d/s door jam. But "The Max" recommended pressure for any tire is printed on the sidewall.
Inside the drivers side door there is a sticker that will tell you the correct tire pressure, gvw, and other misc. information. I think its on the car and not the door itself. otherwise the tire will tell you max pressure right on the side wall.
There might be 2 messages on this tire pressure: one is on the tire itself. The other is on the door threshhold. My car tire reads 35 psi. but the door plate reads 30. The remote tire pressure warning operates when the tire pressure is more than 30. So, my suggestion? Use the tire pressure on the threshhold. If none is available. use the tire pressure on the tire. It's usually 35 psi but check to make sure.
Check the owners manual or the driver door jamb sticker for the correct pressure for a vehicle
recommended tire pressures should be on the sidewall of the tire. NO, NO, NO that is not the correct tire pressure. Never use that number!!!! That number is the max the tire can be inflated. The correct pressure amount is on a sticker usually on one of the car door frames or in the owners manual. Or car the dealer and ask them.
