Tire pressures change by approximately
1 psi (7 kPa) per 12°F (7°C) of air
temperature change. Keep this in mind
when checking tire pressure inside a
garage, especially in the Winter.
Example: If garage temperature = 68°F
(20°C) and the outside temperature =
32°F (0°C) then the cold tire inflation
pressure should be increased by 3 psi
(21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for
every 12°F (7°C) for this outside
temperature condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 2 to
6 psi (13 to 40 kPa) during operation. DO
NOT reduce this normal pressure build up
or your tire pressure will be too low.
Tire Pressures For High Speed
Operation
The manufacturer advocates driving at
safe speeds and within posted speed
limits. Where speed limits or conditions
are such that the vehicle can be driven at
high speeds, maintaining correct tire
inflation pressure is very important.
Increased tire pressure and reduced
vehicle loading may be required for
high-speed vehicle operation. Refer to
your authorized tire dealer or original
equipment vehicle dealer for
recommended safe operating speeds,
loading and cold tire inflation pressures.
Warning!
High speed driving with your vehicle under
maximum load is dangerous. The added
strain on your tires could cause them to fail.
You could have a serious collision. Do not
drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum
capacity at continuous speeds above
75 mph (120 km/h).
Recommended Cold Tire Inflation
Pressures
For vehicle speeds below 100 mph
(160 km/h), recommended cold tire
inflation pressures are listed on the Tire
And Loading Information Placard located
on driver’s side B-Pillar or the rear edge
of the driver's side door.
When driving at speeds 100 mph
(160 km/h) and above, increased tire
pressures and reduced vehicle loading
are required for high-speed vehicle
operation.
For driving speeds above 100 mph
(160 km/h) recommended cold tire
inflation pressures are listed below
under "High Speed Tire Inflation
Pressure".Vehicle loading condition must
not exceed 688 lbs. (312 kg) (driver +
three passengers + 88 lbs. (40kg)
luggage).
