Josh,

On every vehicle sold in the US, there is a sticker – commonly called the tire placard - that lists the original tire size and the proper pressure for that size.  The placard is usually located on a doorpost or in the glove box – but sometimes it is located in the trunk or on the fuel filler door.

According to Tire Guides, the placard on your vehicle ought to the original tire size was ...... well, there are a couple of different versions of the vehicle and what you've written doesn't line up with what the book has, butone of the options was P275/60R17 inflated to 35 psi.

However, the vehicle placard will be the key.
