Tire pressure - who to follow?

[jtmann]

I have read conflicting advice re the "correct" tire pressure for my 2007 Camry. The door jam says inflate to 30 PSI, the tire

sidewall says max psi is 44 (obviously I would not do the latter).

I was thinking 35 - because 30 feels too soft and I read that the manufacturers recommend low (in my case 30) because it

makes the car ride softer which helps them sell more! And - without overinflating - a higher psi can provide some better

mileage and more reponse.

Would welcome input re: what are you inflating at and why?

Thanks!

33psi cold all around.

I own an 09 Camry and I usually keep it anywhere from 32-40, 40 for long trips which really helps the mpg and keeps the ride smooth

but yeah, I believe what you say is the right thing to do.

also a side note, a close friend of mine bought a new honda sedan..came inflated 40's all around and same as my dad's '10 camry

nevermind.

The tires inflated to 40 were because whoever did the PDI didn't correct the tire pressures. It is safe and easiest to go with the suggestions on the door jamb. But I personally adjust my pressures and experiment to find the best compromise of comfort and handling. I tend not to go below the suggested pressures because I do like better handling so I tend to pump it a little higher than normal.

My dealer adjusted to 40 psi, while the door jamb tells it should be 32 psi. Dealer vs Toyota?

[gdanaher]

40 seems a bit stiff. I try to keep mine at about 33-5. but recently on a rare cool morning had low pressures so I checked them all to 35. BTW, overlooked much of the time is the spare donut. It should be at about 60 psi. I couldn't recall when last I had checked the donut so I did--18 psi. Glad I checked.

I have 18" alloy wheel, but my spare tire is not. I wonder if I need to replace it too.

For me I set my tire pressure @ 35 all the way around.

[aznlunatic206]

35 cold all around for me.

40 all around because I think I'm cornering a lotus.

2007-2009 I4 has 30 PSI on the door jamb, 2010 and newer has 34PSI on the jamb. I run 35 PSI on both cars (2007 and 2010).

Almost the same car (2.5L vs. 2.4L, 6 speed vs. 5, and a stability control). So why did they up the pressure by 4 PSI - has to be for the better fuel economy.

My 2008 Camry LE I4 has 32 psi (60 for spare tire) on the door jamb.

all the information about tire inflation is written on driver side door on the body of car.(when you open the door look for sticker)

[ChristianLife21]

So i checked my tire pressure today. my car is 2 weeks old. 2011 Camry LE.

how random is this. The passenger side tire pressure for both tires was 35.
the driver side pressure for both tires was 30.

kinda random huh? I increased pressure in all tires to 38 as i'm going on a road trip tonight!
