Tire pressure question

Question

What should the cold tire pressure be for Goodyear P245/45R18 with a W rating? The max. is listed at 44lbs.

Answer 1

44PSI should be the Max "Cold Pressure"  Pressures for tires are always listed as cold pressures but I would run about 40 and or go by the listing for the vehicle either in the glove box or on the drivers door sill.

Answer 2

If you open the driver door there should be a sticker on it that tells you what the manufacter recomends for your tire presure. Most cars are from 28 to 32 psi.

Answer 3

These are obviously street only tires.

For ride: see the door sticker or owners manual.

For handling and fuel economy: 40 psi; it the ride is acceptable.

Note when the tire heats up, the pressure will be higher.
