The ideal tire pressure is usually between 30 and 35 PSI, depending on the vehicle. Tire pressure is too high when it exceeds the recommended PSI, often defined as more than 10% over this level. For example, 38 PSI is too high if the recommended PSI is 35. Check your owner’s manual for precise specifications.
Proper tire pressure is crucial for optimal performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. Drivers should regularly check their tire pressure, ideally when the tires are cold, to ensure they remain within the specified range. Most vehicles carry a label with the recommended tire pressure, usually found on the driver’s side door frame.
In the following section, we will explore how to effectively monitor tire pressure and the methods to deflate tires safely if high pressure is detected. Understanding this process can help maintain tire health and ensure safe driving conditions.
