How Do We Find Out the Proper Tire Pressure? Do we look at the placard sticker or the sidewall of the car's tire to know the correct tire pressure to inflate?

Charles is correct but there is no simple answer. I would like to elaborate a bit further. The sticker on the pillar is/was correct for the original equipment tires given the following: 1-the exact size listed 2-for an average day temperature (0-90* F typically) 3-for the maximum weight listed So if you have an average car, on an average day, with tires that are of reasonable quailty, you should use the sticker on the door for the COLD inflation of your tires. Now, if the tires are a different size, you are traveling in extreme temperatures, and/or carrying at or near your maximum load rating, traveling long distances (in excess of 100 miles) or have poor quailty tires, your inflation will need to be adjusted for your conditions. This is because tires build up heat. The tires are designed for a certain amount of heat. When traveling in extreme conditions or with heavy loads, addtional air pressure is need to keep the tire from flexing too much. Too much flexing causes too much heat. This is why you see more tire treads and chunks on the freeway in the summer. So you ask, how much air to I add when I am in those "extreme" conditions. The answer sadly is that only the tire company's "load inflation table" can tell you. Every tire is different and every car, truck, trailer and RV is loaded differently. Each vehicle will need to be evaluated to what trip is, how much weight are you carrying, and the conditions expected. When we go on a family vacation, and have the vehicle "loaded up", we inflate closer to the tire's sidewall maximum PSI just to be safe. Regular day to day use of the vehicle, we run closer to the door pillar "sticker" weight.

The tires are Pneumatic. Tire pressure is recommended to be kept at 30 psi on the rear tires, and 25 psi on the front.Bill Keene 954-421-3169

Not sure how to answer this question. I have the digital version. I work on cars all day long so it helps to know exactly how much to put in with these new cars that display the exact tire pressure on the dashboard. So for me it's quicker to know the first time exactly how much to put in instead of going back and forth. The only thing is that after some time the calibration might be off by 1/2 psi to 1 psi. This probably normal and also if you use it 24/7 tossing it from time to time doesn't help either. But over all I love this tool.

The pressure changes with use, i.e, highway temps. and driving conditions. If there is a leak, an alarm will sound and it will indicate the tire location. This should give the driver time to react and prevent additional damage to the tire. Not sure the small amount of change you are asking about should be anything to worry about, the unit will let the driver know if there is a problem. Rad the instructions. W

I use my compressor to fill my bicycle and car tire w/o problems. Make sure you set the pressure with the dedicated gauge/knob to the desired/limit pressure of what you are inflating. This compressor is a great buy for the money.

Readability is to .1. My car tells me each tire's pressure to the lb. they appear to be in sync. I LOVE the guage and gave out over a dozen as Chistmas presents.

what year model ? and/ wheel diameter ? Or just look it up on the Dodge web site, or in the owners manual in the glove box, or look at the size of the tire that is on the truck now, or open the drivers side door, and there is always a 'sticker' either on the frame of the door, or the frame of the truck, that tells you all that info, including recommended air pressure for front and back.

The tire size is 1.95 x 26 and any universal inner tube that meets this specification will work. The recommended inflation pressure ranges from 40 PSI min to 65 PSI max.

Simply a guess...I have a 4 door Lexus with 16" tires. To inflate 5psi takes just under one minute, so 20psi on same size tire would probably be @ 4 minutes....but some variables have to be accounted for, e.g. temperature, weight, whether the tire is sealed on the rim, connection of compressor is tight, etc. Like all compressors I have used, the gauge on the hose in not entirely accurate, so I always use a handheld gauge just to verify.

the recommended tire pressure is printed on the side of the tire. My 700 x 25 has a high pressure rating of 103 psi. The 700 x 23 is probably a little higher, but once again look at the tire!

So your tire size means that the outside to outside widest width of your tire is 4.10 inchs, which would be the sidewalls at there most inflated air pressure. Lets say it's printed on your sidewall of your tire which most tires have as the size and yours is "4.10x3.50-6"...What this means is that you have a tire which is 4.10 inches at its widest width and you have a tread which is 3.50 inchs of surface contact, and the rim is 6" across, lip to lip. So yes these tires chains will fit. Keep in mind before you buy that there are probably heavier duty chains out there but at a higher price. Like I said these chains , bang for the buck are not a bad buy. You should get some years out of them.Good Luck Tom W.

The "old fashioned way". Get a good quality tire pressure gauge. You can also use it to compare pressures from your other tires to be more certain.

Press and hold the scale button. once it shows on, then check tire pressure. When you adjust pressures, press scale it should reset to read again. while the gauge is off tire, you can calibrate the gauge by pressing both buttons again to let it calibrate. Hope this helps. J.R.

That has not been a problem with me. When I unscrew the inflation hose from the tire valve stem a small amount of air comes out, but on a car tire it makes no difference in pressure. Maybe there is something wrong with your pump that you should speak to the manufacturer about.

Hi Dear Jifa. Thanks for your message to us , This Tire Pressure Monitor System Measures up to 60 PSI. If you have any question ,pls feel free contact me , I am more than happy to help yOU. Have a nice day. Helen

When adding air pressure to the air springs, remember that they have a much smaller volume of air that a tire so they will inflatemuch quicker. Add air pressure in short bursts until the vehicle is level. (NEVER EXCEED 100psi IN EACH AIR SPRING.).that is from the manufacturer, I believe my gauge goes to 110psi, I'd never get to that pressure anyway, hope that helpsNote the manufacturer recommends to keep a minimum of 10 psi in the air bag at all time.

the recommended pressure is printed on the sidewall of the tire, not the tube!
