Tire Inflation Pressures - Jeep Automobile Owner's Manual

Tire Inflation Pressures

The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on either
the face of the driver's door, or the driver's side "B" pillar.
Tire Placard Location
The pressure should be checked and adjusted as well as
inspecting for signs of tire wear or visible damage at least
once a month. Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to
check tire pressure. Do not make a visual judgement
when determining proper inflation. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they are under inflated.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always
reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped. This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve
stem, which could damage the valve stem.
Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always
"cold tire inflation pressure". Cold tire inflation pressure
is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has not
been driven for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1 km) after a 3 hour period. The cold tire inflation
pressure must not exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sure molded into the tire side wall.
