Recommended Tire Pressure ?

Hey everyone,

I got 205/50/17 Sumitomo tires with my new ICW 17" rims for my 04 corolla s. I was never given the recommended tire pressure for the tires... just on the sidewall it gives the maximum 40 psi, but that's definitely not the recommended. How would I go about finding out what the recommended air pressure for these tires are?

I know that according to the owners manual, the stock 195/65/15 tires' recommended pressure was 30 psi.

If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

I would guess around 36-40 psi, but you may try a Firestone dealer and ask them to look up in their conversion chart, there is such a guide if you can get someone knowledgeable.
