Tire Pressure for 35" tires?

[ChiHummer3]

I've always wondered about that - What if they aren't the original tires that were on the car. What if you go bigger and better - do you still fill to what it says inside the door??

[Matt19]

no guys, you fill what is says on the TIRE. Every tire has it written on it. Every tire has the PSI, the Size, and brand and whatever information is needed. Just bend down, take ur glasses off and read the tire itself. I cant be any clearer

Isn't that MAX psi shown on the side of the tire? (not recommended psi)

actually I do think your right. I may have been mistaken.

You ARE mistaken. The tire labels the MAX tire pressure the tire is safe to be used with. The Tire Placard shows the recommended pressures from testing with the tire and the vehicle. (This might be off with non-factory tires, but pretty close, AS LONG AS THE TIRES ARE THE SAME SIZE.
I just noticed the original question was for 35's (so I can't read ).
So, to answer the original question....I can't, but would still recommend close to the recommended pressures, and keep and eye on the tires to see how they wear. Wearing on the outer treads pressure too low, wearing on the inner treads, pressure too high; even wear across the tire, pressure ok.

um buddy, a tire placard is only for the manufactured tires you get with your vehicle. If you read, the topic changed to tires you buy after market. These tires mostly wont tell you the recommended pressure for a specific vehicle.
Your still talking about looking at the sticker when you open your door...We already covered that, quit wasting time... Question is, where do you find the recommened pressure for an after market tire, becasue on the tire it might only say MAX!

Matt,

The question was asked and answered with the best answer there is, go with the vehicle manufacturers recommendation. The same tire on different vehicles can have different required pressures and no tire or OEM manufacturer is going to list every vehicle application.

The advice from f5 on non-stock applications is what any tire expert would tell you.

You already posted one incorrect response in this thread and your last response could be considered by some to be disrespectful towards a very valued member here who has forgotten more about cars than you could possibly know at this point in your young life. Don't let your mouth or in this case your keyboard, overload your brain ......don't broadcast when you should be tuning in.

YOU ARE NOT MY F'ING BUDDY; therefore, I am NOT YOUR BUDDY, and never will be, so find another response.

Your first statement WAS incorrect. You told someone to fill the tire according to the PSI labeled on the tire.
("no guys, you fill what is says on the TIRE. Every tire has it written on it. Every tire has the PSI, the Size, and brand and whatever information is needed. Just bend down, take ur glasses off and read the tire itself. I cant be any clearer.") Your second posting even admitted the error.

My second posting corrected my first posting due to my mistake of not seeing 35 versus 33. However, if you are replacing tires of the same size, you want to follow the placard (yes the thing by the driver's door).

So, stop being a smart a** and let's all try and get along.

OR.....


Low Tire warning, not enough air, no low tire warning, good to go

TPMs were invented for scenes just like this.

Um buddy, I believe you apparently started out wrong....and then ended rudely.

If you look in the driver door of an H2, you might get your answer.....

thats kinda like having a SPEED LIMIT of 65 but going 80

First off, I don't actually know the answer to the question being asked . . . but . . . I don't believe the tire pressure changes with the size of the tire. "PSI" is per square inch, regardless of how many inches is being filled with air. PSI measures the pressure, regardless how large the area of compression is.

I would follow the Min/Max recommendations, seems that everything in between is preference, not necessarily "correct".

Whatever they were filled with at the dealer. Seriously, the PSI on a tire like this doesn't make that big of a difference when filled within their designed operating pressure, for every day use. But that's off the subject of the original poster's question.

Now, if we're talking about my Vette, 32 front, 30 rear. That's a different animal.

It is a different animal, but tire pressure is tire pressure.

I'm sure you can tell when a tire might be a little low when tooling around town? I can. 35" tires on an H3 should be run between 36-38PSI.

The higher number is advisable if you have added weight like a winch or are loaded with gear.

THAT IS ALL!

You sure are one angry and sarcastic little person aren't you..???

Reasons for 50PSI.. Better fuel mileage.. Yes, it will go up some when there's higher pressures in the tire.. And yes, I understand MAX.. Which is why I stated I am running 45psi in mine.. If I was overly interested in a cushy ride, I woulda got a caddy.. It's a 4x4 truck though.. Riding Rough is what they as supposed to do.. Even with the OEM Goodyears it was rough IMHO..
