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?

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
