Inaccurate pressure can cause poor mileage, uneven tire wear, or a tire blow-out. To prevent these events from happening it is important to maintain proper tire pressure.


What is the ideal tire pressure for a 1998 Subaru Outback?

"Ideal" can be subjective. Are you looking for a smoother ride, or longer tire life/better fuel mileage? If a smoother ride is important, go by Subaru's recommended pressure for whatever weight you're carrying in the vehicle. This can normally be found on a decal along the edge of the driver's door. If, like me, you're more concerned about tire life and fuel mileage, run the pressure up to the max that's called out on the tire's sidewall. At this pressure, the tire can safely carry its maximum load, run cooler, last longer, and get better fuel mileage. The main contributor to this is the reduced sidewall flex at the higher pressures. With modern tire construction, you no longer need to worry about poor tread wear like we had back in the bias-ply tire era. The inverse is what got Ford and Firestone in trouble by dropping the tire pressure down to dangerous levels, looking to smooth out the inherently rougher ride on an SUV.


Does tire size change milage?

Marginally. Tire pressure has a greater effect! The harder the tire the better the mileage (but the ride is stiffer and the center of the tread wears out faster so it might be uncomfortable and economically a poor idea).


What is the recommended 1994 accord ex tire pressure?

35psi is written on the door sticker of my 94 ex, but I usually run about 40psi all round. Max pressure printed on my tires sidwalls are 44psi. See what works best. Generally, higher pressure gives a firmer ride and slightly better mileage.


What should the tire pressure be for a 2004 Chevy cavalier with 17 with rims and low profile tires be?

Find the maximum pressure on the sidewall of the tire. This depends on your ride preference since you are not using factory recommended tires. The closer to the maximum rated pressure on the sidewall gives you better mileage and less wear to the tire but a harder ride.

Why might the tires on a car become flat after sitting in the cold weather?

When air cools, it becomes denser and actually shrinks. If you check the tire pressure when cold and tire pressure when hot, you'll see that the tire pressure is higher when the tires are warm. Your tires were probably borderline low before the temperature changed. To minimize the effect, you can fill your tires with nitrogen instead. The pressure will fluctuate less. Check the pressure in your tires every time you fill up. You'll get better gas mileage, and your tires will last longer if you maintain the correct pressure in them.

Will increasing your tire pressure 2 lbs over recommended pressure increase mileage?

I doubt if 2psi will make much difference. Better to change your style of driving e.g. easy on the throttle, easy on the brakes, no hard acceleration. This will give you improved fuel mileage, do not mess with the tyre pressures.
