If you're using the same size tire that came as original equipment on your vehicle, the proper air pressure is indicated on the door
placard or owners manual of your vehicle.

The air pressure indicated on the sidewall of each tire is the inflation pressure required to carry the maximum allowable load for
that tire. Vehicle manufacturers have invested considerable time and testing to establish an air pressure that will provide a smooth
comfortable ride in addition to an even treadwear pattern.

Our recommendation would be to stick with the air pressure established by your vehicle manufacturer.

Thank you for your inquiry through our web site.

Ok, but the recommended pressure is for the average person who just wants a smooth ride. Rhat about people like me who don't care about a "smooth comfortable ride" and just care about stopping distance, handling, tire wear and gas mileage?
