What is the correct tire psi for a 2002 Chevy cavalier?

The correct tire pressure for a 2002 Chevy Cavalier isn't a single number. It depends on the specific tire size fitted to your car and whether you're looking at the recommended pressure (usually found on a sticker inside the driver's side doorjamb) or the maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall.

To find the correct tire pressure:

1. Check the sticker: Look for a sticker on the driver's side doorjamb or inside the fuel filler door. This sticker will specify the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle. This is the pressure you should generally use.

2. Check the tire sidewall: The maximum pressure for your tire is printed on the sidewall. This number is a *maximum* and doesn't necessarily mean you should inflate to that level. Using the sticker's recommendation is better.

3. Consider load: If you frequently carry heavy loads, you might need to inflate your tires closer to the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall, but never exceed it. Again, the sticker's recommendation is the best starting point.

In short: Don't rely on a general answer. Check your vehicle's sticker. That's the only way to know the correct tire pressure for *your* 2002 Chevy Cavalier.
