Recently had my new Cralwer MT retreads installed and now I would like to check and possibly top off the tire pressure if needed. The tire says 80 PSI while the VIN ID sticker on the driver door says 33 PSI give or take. Obviously Im not running stock tires and I swapped out my 18" wheels for 16's so Im unsure how much pressure I should have in my tires. Which spec supersedes? The vehicle sticker or the tire PSI rating?

 

I run 70, but I have a very heavy Disco.

 

Do a chalk test, run no more than 46. I run 32

 

The pressure on the side of the tyre is the maximum pressure that the tyre is designed to withstand. It is NOT a suggested pressure for use.

 

(where's the "like" button?)

Bear in mind, on a light duty vehicle, more than 40 or so is pointless. and if you venture off road at 40+. your tires. rather your sidewalls, become "ripe vagina's of horny school girls waiting to pierced by the mighty phallus of mother nature"....

Or in other words (stoned on flu medicine, forgive me), Yer shizzle be weak offroad at 40 +... begging for a puncture induced blow out.

 

36 psi every truck and tire conbination is a little different, Zach has the right idea with the chalk test but he too young to know about that

 

haha I'm 25... I do alignments with string and tire pressure with chalk!

 

i thought that might get a rise out of you, been awful quiet latelty

 

Haha I've been fly fishing ever second I have free...

 

Alright then Ill stick with between 35-40 PSI for each tire. Thanks for the input.
