Tire Pressure for 35" tires?

[yat74]

What should a 35" tire be inflated to for normal road driving? I have Coopers and on the tire it states that cold the max psi should be 50. I have them at 40psi now and go down to about 20 or 25 when offroad. Any suggestions.

Read the tire placard at the driver's door. Max air pressure and recommended are two different things.

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??

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.

i did not post anything wrong. I simply said you look on the tire it tells you what pressure it needs. I just didnt say wethers its Max or Recommended. So please tell me my errors in my ways. please, please do.

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.....

"More than half of drivers wrongly believe the correct tire pressure is located on the outside of their tire wall, which only reflects the "maximum permissible." The correct amount of pressure is located in your vehicle manual and can also be found on one of the vehicle’s doors, inside the glove compartment, trunk, or fuel door."

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

Check out this link on tire safety, bottom of page one where it says:

ok SMARTGuY, what do you do with tires that you buy at walmart? Check the owners manual?

You guys can bitch all you want, i looked at my tires on my eclipse (you guys dont deserve me looking at my hummer) and it says min and max...umm when you put in oil the dipstick says min and max. when you put in tranny fluid it says, min and max...
A semi-intelligent person would fill everything between MIN AND MAX. so if you SMARTGUYS out there cant do simple stuff like that, then..i pity your hummers. PITY
