Tires: Pirelli P215 55R 16 97H, Tire Pressure


Question
I have 4 of these all season tires and want to confirm best and max tire inflation.  Pirelli website doesn't have my tires listed (that I can tell anyway).  What inflation is recommended?
Much appreciated!!!

Answer
Bill,

On every vehicle sold in the US, there is a sticker - commonly called the placard - that will list 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.

If the tire size you quoted is the same as on the vehicle placard, then the placard pressure is appropriate.  If it is not the same size, then tell me what the placard says for these 2 items and I will calculate the pressure.
