    Thank you for posting your question to the Ask Me Help Desk.

    Recommended tire pressure can depend on a number of factors.

    1. Tire size

    2. Type of vehicle (bike, car, trailer, etc.)

    3. The intended use of the vehicle and terrain (highway driving, mudding, off-road, etc.)

    4. Ambient air temperature (hot or frigid conditions)

    If you are referring to cars in general, the above things still apply but all in all, a majority of car tires will suggest inflation to 32 psi

    As posted, it will depend on the type of car, truck, tractor, bicycle you are working on. Almost all tires have the recommended pressure printed in raised letters on the side of the tire. So if you merely look closely on the tire, it should say.

    My truck is at 40, my wife's car is 35 (I think)
