How Do We Find Out the Proper Tire Pressure? An article on ehow is telling me that "The MAXIMUM COLD TIRE PRESSURE stamped on a tire's sidewall IS NOT THE CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE for your vehicle", while other sources make no note of this fact. Do we look at the placard sticker or the sidewall of the car's tire to know the correct tire pressure to inflate? How accurate would the placard sticker be, if for example, the previous owner of my used car changed tires? Thank your for any help! How Do We Find Out the Proper Tire Pressure?

There is a sticker, perhaps on the driver door, perhaps on the passenger side B-pillar (just behind the front passenger door), that gives the correct pressure. It is also in the owner's manual. If you buy new tires and they are about the same size the pressure will be the same.

Short answer: Heck no, don't inflate your tires to the maximum pressure shown on the sidewall. If you do, the tires will wear out in the center very soon. Then you'll be shopping for new tires.

In addition to what others have mentioned, many people adjust their tire pressure according to the ride quality they want, or near the max regardless of load or temperature for improved fuel economy at the expense of a little worse traction and uneven center of tire wear. Some might say this is not safe, but it's an equivalent decision as made when someone chooses between high performance tires and higher mileage rated tires with less grip.

An independent tire dealer I dealt with for 35 years always said, "For maximum tire life and maximum gas mileage inflate your tires when they are cold to 90% of the maximum stamped into the side wall of the tire" ie inflate to 40 if maximum is 44. I have done that for decades and get 60,000 mile tire life or better.

Max pressure cold is 44lb psi. We do not recommend to run your tires at max pressure always consult your owners manual for proper air pressure for your specific vehicleThank YouBob1-559-256-4708

The pressure changes with use, i.e, highway temps. and driving conditions. If there is a leak, an alarm will sound and it will indicate the tire location. This should give the driver time to react and prevent additional damage to the tire. Not sure the small amount of change you are asking about should be anything to worry about, the unit will let the driver know if there is a problem. Rad the instructions. W

Hi-This manometer guage was installed this outside on a 1.5 inch pipe supplying air into my hi-efficiency boiler.I wanted to determine pressure variances at three locations along the pipe to understand pressure loss at points along the pipe.The manometers were also installed along the 1.5 inch exhaust pipe, too.The manometer was outside here in Colorado when the temperature dropped to an indicated 22 degrees.It was attached into the 1.5 pipe at four inches outside away from the house wall.Perhaps it was only at 24 or 25 degress due to its closeness to the thermal mass of the house.The manometer did not freezeThe tube is a plastic material so would have some give or flex if frozen.Thanks Hi-This manometer guage was installed this outside on a 1.5 inch pipe supplying air into my hi-efficiency boiler.I wanted to determine pressure variances at three locations along the pipe to understand pressure loss at points along the pipe.The manometers were also installed along the 1.5 inch exhaust pipe, too.The manometer was outside here in Colorado when the temperature dropped to an indicated 22 degrees.It was attached into the 1.5 pipe at four inches outside away from the house wall.Perhaps it was only at 24 or 25 degress due to its closeness to the... » Read More Hi-This manometer guage was installed this outside on a 1.5 inch pipe supplying air into my hi-efficiency boiler.I wanted to determine pressure variances at three locations along the pipe to understand pressure loss at points along the pipe.The manometers were also installed along the 1.5 inch exhaust pipe, too.The manometer was outside here in Colorado when the temperature dropped to an indicated 22 degrees.It was attached into the 1.5 pipe at four inches outside away from the house wall.Perhaps it was only at 24 or 25 degress due to its closeness to the thermal mass of the house.The manometer did not freezeThe tube is a plastic material so would have some give or flex if frozen.Thanks « Show Less

what year model ? and/ wheel diameter ? Or just look it up on the Dodge web site, or in the owners manual in the glove box, or look at the size of the tire that is on the truck now, or open the drivers side door, and there is always a 'sticker' either on the frame of the door, or the frame of the truck, that tells you all that info, including recommended air pressure for front and back.

The "old fashioned way". Get a good quality tire pressure gauge. You can also use it to compare pressures from your other tires to be more certain.

The maximum PSI=150. It is printed on the body of the "Inflator". The guage also indicates 150 psi. I only used it to 65 psi.

It's really easy reading the tire pressure once you're checking it. You can release it from the tire and still read the pressure from the gauge. It deletes after aprox thirty seconds. Or you can read it while you're checking the tire pressure.

The pressure gauge used to both read the pressure, and set the maximum pressure, has a max setting of 150psi. The trip needle would probably make it cut out at 148ish. So in theory it should be capable of this pressure. FYI the compressor is fairly slow. I used it on a tire with 20 psi, it took about 3 minutes to fill it to 35 psi.

I think it is +/- 3% of full scale deflection. So on a 60 PSI max Gauge it would be +/- 1.8 PSI throughout the entire scale. Besides being able to read the gauge more accurately and buy one in the range your working with like for me its regular car tires so 60 PSI is best and the dial has 1 PSI markings if you get a 120 PSI Gauge with 2 PSI markings 3% of that is now +/- 3.6 PSI which is not good for standard tire measurements which are in the 30 PSI range. Overkill is not good with gauges

I looked up a pump for your L322 RR on the Atlantic British website and came up with an identical picture to the URO one you're asking about even down to the connector. Like I stated, the Uro didn't have enough pressure to even reach the windshield. The return was easy, I stated the problem, they(Amazon) gave me a return label to print with postage paid and they credited me the original cost. Another option is to try an Anco version #67-15 of the pump,you might have better results. Try your local parts store, but go with an application for a MB ML500. Good luck! P.S. The shape of the connector is rectangle with one end rounded.

You read the tire depth gauge as follows. Press down on a hard flat surface to make sure the depth gauge zeros out. Then place on the tire press the top down until the probe touches the bottom of the space between the tread blocks. The bottom of the number that corresponds to the line that is even with the bossy of the depth gauge is your tread depth. For example 4_ would be 4/32 of an inch. The underscore would be at the top of the barrel or outer body of the depth gauge and the number just even wih that line being your depth.

it is written on the side of every tire manufactured in the us. check the sidewall for a box saying maximum reccomended load xxxx kg at xx kpa xxxx lbs a xx psi only use the us units unless you are farmilia with the metric. all pressures should be taken cold

Not sure how to answer this question. I have the digital version. I work on cars all day long so it helps to know exactly how much to put in with these new cars that display the exact tire pressure on the dashboard. So for me it's quicker to know the first time exactly how much to put in instead of going back and forth. The only thing is that after some time the calibration might be off by 1/2 psi to 1 psi. This probably normal and also if you use it 24/7 tossing it from time to time doesn't help either. But over all I love this tool.

No this is not normal at all, I use this tool every day mostly on pressure tanks and it must be within a half of a pound (I test this air tool for accuracy once week in the shop) and it has always been right on...Their are a couple of things I can think of...First operator error, you must have this pressed perfectly square against the valve stem, if you hear air leaking you will never get a correct reading, due to the fact that hearing air leaking is constantly lowering the pressure...Second have you tried the gauge on something different, like another tire and did you get the same results...? If this is the case their maybe some thing wrong with the rubber seal inside the gauge itself, take a small strong light and look inside the gauge were it makes contact with what your testing, to be sure that the rubber seal is not damaged...If it is damaged than this is the problem and why you hear the air, you'll need to send it back for a replacement...This is the number one thing "AMAZON" does best and quickly...Hope this is the problem and helps you out...Rich.

Don't know the maximum psi. Have used it on auto tires around 30-33 psi with no problems. It apears to be a well built item and am very satisified with it.

I have one - but don't really know what the max pressure is. It's a tube system, where the gauge moves through a little window as the pressure rises. So you only see about 20 psi of the gauge at a time. I fill mine to 50 psi and have seen the 60 psi mark in the window at the top, but have not seen above that. There is still gauge showing at the top, so I would guess it goes at least til 70 - but hard to tell as I've never inflated that high. Great little pump for the money. Hope this helps.
