If the cold tire inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label,
no further adjustment is
necessary. If the inflation
pressure is low, add air until
the recommended pressure is
reached. If the inflation pressure
is high, press on the metal stem
in the center of the tire valve to
release air.
Recheck the tire pressure with
the tire gauge.
Return the valve caps on the
valve stems to prevent leaks
and keep out dirt and moisture.
Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
{
WARNING
Driving at high speeds,
160 km/h (100 mph) or higher,
puts an additional strain on tires.
Sustained high-speed driving
causes excessive heat buildup
and can cause sudden tire failure.
You could have a crash and you
or others could be killed. Some
high-speed rated tires require
inflation pressure adjustment
for high-speed operation. When
speed limits and road conditions
are such that a vehicle can be
driven at high speeds, make sure
the tires are rated for high-speed
operation, in excellent condition,
and set to the correct cold tire
inflation pressure for the
vehicle load.
Vehicles with P235/65R18,
P235/55R20, or 235/55R20 size
tires require inflation pressure
adjustment when driving the vehicle
at speeds of 160 km/h (100 mph)
or higher. Set the cold inflation
pressure to the maximum inflation
pressure shown on the tire sidewall,
or 260 kPa (38 psi), whichever
is lower. Return the tires to the
recommended cold tire inflation
pressure when high-speed driving
has ended. See
Vehicle Load Limits
on page 9 ‑ 10 and Tire Pressure on
page 10 ‑ 56 .
The maximum load and inflation
pressure is molded on the
tire sidewall, in small letters,
near the rim flange. It will read
something like this: Maximum load
690 kg (1521 lbs) 300 kPa (44 psi)
Max. Press.
