PSI level on tires

[nitinek]

Can somebody tell me to what PSI i should fill up my tires on my 1995 Toyota Camry XLE?

[fox_prime]

38 PSI is the standard, or whatever it says on your tires.

38? o.0

for some reason i think mine is only 30 psi

[keithy]

factory spec says 30psi. But like fox mentioned, most people go between 34-38 psi.

The gov/industry experts insist you go by the auto manufacturer's specs which are sometimes under the armrest cover, the driver's door jam, glove box, etc. It should also be listed in the manual and can be found online. (Try google) Having said that, I personally usually run a bit under the tire's max pressure. The real danger seems to be running them too low as they overheat and blow. Too high makes your ride a bit rougher, may wear the center treads too much and in extreme cases cause a loss of handling.

I always like to go a couple of pounds above manu rating on the door as you typically will wear the tire shoulders at their levels. More makes the ride too rough

yea, normal psi is 32-35,but you can always add more if you want but make sure you dont exceed the maximum PSI labeled on your tires' sidewall or you will pop a tire while you hit a pothole

Um, I think my tires say 50PSI max. You'll do just as much damage at that.

You so put in what is recomended.

Don't forget that those recommended tire pressures are for when your when your tires are still cold. If you have to drive over to a fuel station or wherever to check your tire pressure, raise the pressure by a few PSI just to compensate for the heat in the tires.

most family cars on the road recommend 32 as u can see with the sticker. Thats for a mix of comfort and fuel economy. Too soft for how i drive.

I still like to think 35 psi is the foolproof norm. Also most individuals don't check pressures monthly, so jacking it up a few psi is good so u never have underinflated tires.

Make sure never to exceed max pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. Some are 35, some are 41, 44, 51 etc...

my 98 with Yokohama H4s w/44psi max, i run 40 front, 36 rear.
