How To Check Your Tire Pressure

3. Maximum Air Pressure

The manufacturer will list your vehicle’s maximum air pressure. It is normally in bold print on the sidewall of the tire and reads like this: Max. Press. 35 PSI. The number indicated is the maximum amount of air you will want to add when the tire is cold. When tire pressure is at it’s max, there is risk of a blowout because the tire could wear more quickly. Handling corners may be easier, but braking could also be compromised.
