It depends on the car you are driving. On the side of every tire is the Maximum pressure that the tire will safely handle. This is not the recommended PSI for your tires, only the Maximum pressure that the tires will safely hold. I stress this because so many people do not understand this. Your recommended tire pressure is listed in your owner's manual or on the driver's door post, in the trunk, glove box, under the console lid, or somewhere on this vehicle. There is a placard with the proper PSI that this cars tires should be inflated to located somewhere. The front may be different from the rear, so read the placard carefully. Air the tires up when they are cold, and have not been driven for a minimum of 2 hours. Inflate to the recommended pressure no matter what anyone tells you. The pressure the manufacture recommends has been calculated to give you the best handling, ride, tire wear, and mileage, based on many hours of testing by qualified engineers. Ignore the recommendations of anyone who recommends anything other than what the manufacture lists. Any other PSI will degrade one or more of these categories.
