Tires: tire pressure, mitch anderson, metal tag


Question
Hi Jack,
This is an embarrasing question...but I have a 2001 Mazda sport pickup. I can't find what the tire pressure should be? I'm always being hounded that I don't pay enough attention to the pressure...Can you help?

Hey,
Don't feel bad, most people don't keep a close eye on there air pressure. You would not believe what a differance it can make. low pressure can result in the tire overheating and causing the tread to seperate. To high a pressure can cause you to loose traction on the road. Anyway so much for the tire lesson. There should be a metal tag on the inside of your drivers side door. You can find the correct air pressure and load there. Be sure to always check your air pressure when the tires are cold or at the very least when you have only driven a few miles.

Hope this helps
Jack
