Anyone know what the PSI should be set at? I got in the car this morning and for the second day in a row the TPMS light was on..... all tires were at 26psi. Doesnt seem right. I just got the car 4 days ago.

My previous cars didnt have TPMS and I usually kept it at 34psi

 

The tire pressure spec should be on the driver side door jam.

 

I am at work and it just came to mind. I'll check it when I get home as the car doesnt come to work with me.

 

i believe its around 34psi off the top of my head without checking.

 

My 04 recommended settings are 32PSI front and 30PSI rear. I acutally overinflate to 35F/33R. The tire sidewall, I believe, says 41PSI max. I'm relatively sure that the specs should be the same for 04-08 since the vehicle weight and OEM tires haven't changed.


I do have a follow up question. What should be the proper inflation if you put on a different brand of tire? If the new tire has different thickness sidewalls, or has a different load rating, would the door jamb PSI recommendations still apply? Or would you go with (32PSI/41PSI) 78% of the sidewall maximum PSI? I'd be interested in hearing you guy's thoughts on this.

There are additional charts at the bottom for other tire ratings.

^^ good read. Thanks J

 

33 PSI all around cold. As for warm, I've seen 38F/36R.

 

warm i have mine at 40/39.

 

I hit the curb once and it feels like my right rear is always lower by a lot, but on the display its usually only 1psi lower than all the others. Any suggestions on what to do? [ sorry if im stealing a thread]

 

wow i run mine at 29/31 warm - but im going for some sort of traction rather than good gas mileage i guess

 

The manual says 33psi cold.

 

yeah when i got home the night i posted this thread i checked. They are all eqaul at 34psi now.

 

Pump the tire up!!!

 

Hmm It usually runs around 34/33 depending what time of the day it is. Since its summer now I'm not sure how much to pump it up or it's still necessary.

 

my car came with 35psi cold

it runs at around 37psi hot
