Tire Pressure....

2008 Camry SE V6, Original rims and tires. Any tire pressure recommendations and the benefits of high pressure vs low pressure?

I recommend that you look at the driver's door jam label and follow the directions. They didn't do all that research for nothing. If you want it a little more firm, add a couple pounds. Never underinflate unless you are stuck in snow and tryng to get out of a ditch.

I recommend you follow Toyota's specs in the driver's door jamb, take a look at the sticker.

Just a few threads out of thousands relating to this 1 question can be found using the search. As you can see, it has been answered many many many* times. I am just trying to be as nice as possible introduce you to our Search without being mean.


* For the many of the "many" that cannot be written out in the MANY times that it could be written without the many troubles will cause many times over.

The only legally "correct" answer is what the vehicle manufacturer recommends

However, you will find people with various other opinions, you really have to find what works for you within two limits

1. lower limit - what the car manufacturer recommends on the door plate
2. upper limit - is the max PSI printed on the side of the tire (except as noted in the link above for certain tires)

Here is the best generic formula I have ever been able to find to help determine a more performance oriented tire pressue.


(Vehicle Weight in lb/100) + 2 psi at heavier end + 2 psi all around if suspension and alignment are stock.

Example:

Stock 911, 3,000 lb.
(3000/100) = 30 psi
Add 2 psi all around = 32 psi
Add 2 psi to heavy end = 34 psi at rear
With modified suspension, the result is 30 psi front, 32 psi rear.

"There is no 'golden' tire pressure. The optimal setting depends on the individual driver and his preferences."
