Question

What is the recommended PSI on my tires that has a maximum of 44 PSI?

Answer 1

It depends on the vehicle application, the size of the tires, how much weight is on the tires, and whether fuel economy is more important to you than a smooth ride.

Listed in the owner’s manual or on a decal in the glovebox or door jamb in every vehicle are the recommended inflation pressures from the vehicle manufacturer. For most passenger cars, minivans and minipickups, the recommendations range from 27 to 32 psi. For fullsize pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, the recommended inflation pressures tend to be about 5 to 8 psi higher to reflect the larger tire sizes and greater weight of these vehicles.

It’s important to note that the recommended inflation pressures may differ for the front and rear tires.

The manufacturer’s recommendations are not necessarily the optimum inflation pressure for your tires, but are generally the best for all-round driving. Adding a couple of extra pounds of pressure will decrease the rolling resistance of the tires and make a slight improvement in fuel economy -- but it will also make the tires harder which in turn may cause a somewhat rougher or harsher ride.

If you’re carrying a lot of extra cargo, car pooling, hauling a lot of stuff in the back of a pickup or towing a trailer, a few extra pounds of pressure would be recommended to offset the added weight. Add the extra pounds to the rear tires.

32-35 is recommended ,but usually you go by what the tire says,it should say at maximum load 44 pounds,you don't normally drive one full loaded though,id put 35 in it that should be enough,good luck.

Answer 4

You have that information posted on the door frame or the glove box and also in your owner's manual (if this question is about your car/SUV/truck).

Otherwise you can ask the outlet who sold you the tires or ask a mechanic to check for you.
