Default What tire pressure do you put?

OK guys, i am little confuse here and not really knowledgeable when it comes to car so please do not hate me asking lots of stupid question lol. So i am trying to figure out what is the proper amount of pressure to put in my tires.

According to my manual and the sticker on my door it says to put the tires at 32 PSI. However on my tires it says to put it at 55 PSI. Which do I do? Do I follow the manual or the tire? thanks..

always go with the manual or the door sticker. The number on the tire is the maximum pressure the tire can take without bursting. (usually only follow the tire when it use for trailers)

The biggest factor in determining the right tire pressure is the weight of the car - which is what the car manufacturer uses to work out the sticker pressure.

DO NOT PUT IT AT 55 lololol

Thats the MAX psi your tire can handle, after that it will possibly explode and it wont be pretty. That much pressure with that much weight on it will be sure to rub right out =D

For daily driving i suggest 30-35.


When it comes to track racing or drag racing, it depends on what you want as far as traction and over/under steer.
