Tires: tire pressure, r15 tires, doorpost


Question
My air pressure is low in one one of my tires, but I don't know how much pressure I need to put in it. What is the maximum air pressure in Futura 2000 Radial LTE P195/65 R15 tires?

Answer
Angela,

On the sidewall of every tire sold in the US will be a maximum value - HOWEVER, you do not want to use that pressure.

The proper pressure will be listed on a vehicle placard usually located on a doorpost or in the glove.  It will also list the original tire size that the pressure will be valid for.  If you are using a different tire size, then it needs to be recalculated.  I can do that, but I will need to know what the placard says about tire size and pressure and what the new tire size is.
