It's all expressed in the number embossed in every tire. - My van tires are - - P215/65R15 95H. - That P means it's a passenger vehicle tire,
- 215 is tread width in millimeters,
- 65 is the aspect ratio, it's a wide oval. ( 75 means it's rounder in cross section, and therefore, taller.)
- R means it's a Radial
- 15 means it fits a 15" rim.
- 95 -that's it's load range, and in the ISO/Metric Standards list '95' means each tire can support 1500 pounds weight.
- H -The final letter is it's 'speed rating' , and again in the ISO/metric system, 'H' means it's rated at speeds up to 130 mph. I hope this helps to explain it all and for you to choose good tires, please remember -always identical tires on both sides rear, and identical tires on both sides front. This will mean more equal braking, and better steering.

Also, you can check the side wall of the tire, and it will give you the max pressure for the tire. It is safe to add this amount of air, until you find out the proper inflation for your Aztek. Addition to answer: My 2001 Aztek has tires of two types, Eclipse and Bridgestone, and they say up to 44 psi. However, my manual says to look at the label on the rear edge of the driver's door.

Does Nitrogen in tires increase fuel efficiency?
No, tires filled with nitrogen give exactly the same fuel efficiency as tires filled with air.
The real reason tires on many modern cars are filled with dry nitrogen is that air contains a small amount of water vapor which condenses out in cold weather. The resulting small drop in tire pressure is detected by the electronic tire pressure monitoring system, which gives a false warning. As dry nitrogen has no water vapor to condense its use eliminates these false warnings.
