The Tire-Loading Information label, which is located
on the rear edge of the driver's door, shows the correct
inflation pressures for your tires when they're cold.
"Cold" means your vehicle has been sitting for at least
three hours or driven no more than
1
mile (1.6 km).
If you'll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph
(
160
kmk)
where it is legal, raise the cold inflation
pressure of each tire to 35 psi (240 Wa). When you end
this very high-speed driving, reduce the cold inflation
pressures to those listed on the Tire-Loading
Information label.
