What PSI air pressure are your tires?

[The Real Maverick]

here’s my issue.
My Dealer does the Nitro upgrade (no choice - part of Dealer Package), but it doesn’t account for altitude. They set it for 32psi in Tucson, but when I get home, (over a thousand feet higher in altitude), my tire pressure is lower (28 - 30 psi).

Wanna check that again and report back????

The pressure in your gauge is the DIFFERENCE between inside and out.

If pressure in the tire stays the same, and outside air pressure drops, the difference in the reading goes UP.

Example : 40 psi while in mountains will be 35 psi at sea level.

The pressure that it says on the door sticker.
Is this a trick question?

You'd be surprised how many people don't know this.

They think the max PSI on the tire is what the tire should be set at. I recall a thread on it here where multiple people chimed in and said this.

Personally... I only use 60* PSI... 65 is waaaaaaaay too rough

*In all seriousness, my 245/65R17 KO2's are set at 35

Which one? They're all different.

My Michelins came from the dealer at 37 psi. The factory recommendation on the door panel is 35 psi. Thinking about going to 32 psi for a smoother ride.

35 psi on the Falken’s for me

40 psi here. Ride is fine.
Averaged 47mpg on the last two tanks.

Ditto on the 40. My EB only dreams of 47MPG.

I set mine to 36 when I fill them, under the assumption that they will (and they do) slowly bleed pressure over time. When 2 or more hit 34 or lower they get refilled. It's nice having a reasonably accurate pressure meter on the dash although I suspect one of the sensors reads low.

30 psi, Toyo Open Country III in 245/65R17.
