* Tire size: Different sized tires require different pressures. Check the sticker on your driver's side doorjamb. This sticker will specify the recommended tire pressure for your specific vehicle and tire configuration.
* Load: If you're carrying a heavy load, you'll need to inflate your tires to a higher pressure than usual. The sticker on the doorjamb may also provide information about load-related pressure adjustments.
* Tire condition: Always check your tires for wear and tear. Damaged or under-inflated tires can be dangerous.
Where to find the recommended tire pressure:
1. Driver's side doorjamb sticker: This is the most reliable source. Look for a sticker that shows the recommended tire pressure for your specific vehicle and tire size.
2. Owner's manual: Your owner's manual will also list the recommended tire pressures.
3. Tire sidewall: The maximum pressure for your tires is printed on the sidewall. However, this is not necessarily the recommended pressure. Never inflate your tires to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall unless specifically instructed to do so by the vehicle manufacturer.
In short: Do not rely on a general answer. Check the sticker on your driver's side doorjamb. That's the only way to ensure you have the correct tire pressure for your specific 2001 Dodge Caravan.
