I have read conflicting advice re the "correct" tire pressure for my 2007 Camry. The door jam says inflate to 30 PSI, the tire sidewall says max psi is 44 (obviously I would not do the latter). I was thinking 35 - because 30 feels too soft and I read that the manufacturers recommend low (in my case 30) because it makes the car ride softer which helps them sell more! And - without overinflating - a higher psi can provide some better mileage and more reponse. Would welcome input re: what are you inflating at and why? Thanks! |

Thanks! the tire can only tell you the max pressure it can handle since it doesn't know what car it is put on. the door jam is set by manufacturer designed with the weight & handling charateristics of the car in mind. Always go with the door jam. |
