Depends on the tire...should be right on the side wall.

Every tire has a specific load/pressure rating.

i know the load is 90 i couldnt find the tire pressure rating

mattg

same as stock, or 35 psi all the way around.

You can't really go wrong with over-inflating by a little. Just don't under-inflate.

Start at the factory setting, in the door jam, or the manual, then go up, from there. It depends on the tire. Some like more perssure then others, even if it's the stock size.

Your tire pressure is governed by the spec from the car manufacturer, NOT the tire makers. You can always experiment a higher pressure than the car maker recommendation. Tire makers do not have tire pressure for every car and they don't do it. It is not their business!!!
