The age old tire pressure question
(lemmy.world)
2001 Infiniti QX4
Placard on car says 26 psi cold
Tires say 32-49
Rear tire is set to 27 cold
Does this look under-inflated? What’s the lowest I should go?
would you be able to post a pic where it says the minimum psi on the tire? I work with tires and wheels and I have yet to see a tire with a range of psi like what you're describing and I'm curious to see.
I would set the pressure to what is listed on the placard.
usually with an 8 ply passenger tire, you shouldn't go below 20 psi.
oh also, the tire in the pic doesn't look under inflated to me, but looks can be deceiving
I’ll try to post a pic tomorrow. Just saw this on the Nokia website:
Not sure what the numbers on the tire are for then.
they're for the technicians mostly. basically safe maximum levels to get the tire installed on the wheel and other safety information. sometimes you really have to inflate them when installing to get the tire to seat properly
Got it. Thanks!
