How much tire pressure?

[Chaoscollins]

Hey guys I looked in the questions forum but didn't see it anywhere. I have a 2006 jeep liberty limited with the chrome wheels on it. My low pressure light came on so I need to put some air in my tires. The max says 44psi I believe on the tire but what is the right amount to put in them. I know if you but max in them then you are more then likely going to burn your tires faster. I was thinking around 35psi. Is this what the factory sets them at? And also will this be enough to get my low pressure light to go off. I am pretty sure it is my one tire that is doing this but I will check all of them to make sure they are all set the same. Thanks guys!

Open the drivers door and look for the sticker.

38 seems to be fine on my 17"
I don't let it go over 40 in summer or go below 32 in winter..
depends on how you like your ride

Okay as a base of reference, when everyone calls out their personal numbers, please state if that is your "cold" number or what you believe to be the "road temp" number.

33-35psi is normal. I believe the door says 33. O

ya I looked in the door and I believe it did say 33 but at the psi my low pressure light was on, that is why I was asking. I was thinking probably 35psi was good for everyday driving.

I run mine 38-40 PSI Cold for berrer fuel economy. I have always ran higher pressures in every vehicle I have owned.

You can overdo it though and it does make the ride more harsh. High pressures will not make tires wear out more quickly, pressure that is TOO high for a particular application WILL though.
33lbs seems like a joke to me, I ran that in a suzuki samurai, and the KJ is a lot heavier than that thing was.

The warning light comes on between 25-44psi I do believe. May be wrong on the max psi.. O

why 33 on the door.. it is easier to type 3 3

Roadtemp for my stocks is 33, and the chart says so too
