tire pressure
I am sure this has been beat to death but what tire pressure should one run? or what range? and you should always check it like after it has sit overnite right.

Re: tire pressure
It depends upon the tire size/load rating and the load being carried.
Yes they should be checked cold. |

Re: tire pressure
I am a tire pressure freak, the guys who change my oil hate me, I go
around and double check them, and the spare before I leave, it never has really worked out for me, but by doing this combined w/ my wife's driving, we achieved 95K miles out of her first set, and are very close to passing 50K on this set and they still look like brand new, my rules of thumb are this, if it's 35, go 30, if it's 44, go 40, I never go by the stickers on the door pillars or any of that other manufacturers stuff, and I rotate in the "X" configuration, just my way, not "The Way" & I will get ya a 50K pic when she gets home, almost unbelievable

Re: tire pressure
It really depends how they're rated. Some tires are raed as "max pressure". Those should be set at a few (4-5) psi below the max when cold. Some tires are rated as "xx psi cold". Those should be set to the indicated pressure when cold.
