are you running stock tire size if so then the tire pressure is 30 psi

Hi guys, What is the cold tire pressure for 08 camry SE 17'' wheels???
It did not stated on the door.

Thanks in advance

it will say it in the door sill of the drivers door. I forget off the top of my head. maybe 32 p.s.i.

you know its weird cause i own a gen 5.5 and it has psi on the door but my tires arent stock and everybody swears the psi is on the tires but i dont see it.

It's listed on my driver's door jamb, in the owner's manual and in the service manual for both tire sizes.

[MrSo0h0o]

my car says 29PSI which makes no sense

Thanks guys.
Since the normal cold tire pressure is 32psi, I should put about 34-35 for better handling and gas milege....

Actually your handling goes down with higher pressure because you loose contact surface with the road.

No, over inflation is better than under inflation when it comes to handling, even more so when the roads are wet.

Mine are 36 psi front and 34 rear.

Overinflation may give you higher MPG due to lower rolling resistance. It will also shrink the contact patch with the road, thus negatively affecting handling.

You can't have it both ways. Just like people are looking for the tires that have the best traction but also have the best thread wear.
To have the best traction the tire will have to stick to the road therefore it can not have the best thread wear.

Not true, As others stated, you have less contact. You get better traction with less pressure, eg when stuck in some snow it is a trick to let air pressure out for your tires to have more contact to grip and get your car out of the snow (eg top gear north pole special). Also i remember a while back watching a show how army humvees let out the air in their tires for better traction when stuck.

Handling is not the respective contact area of the tire due to a few pounds difference in inflation with the tire at rest!! It's just not worth the effort to pour it into your heads............
