What should the air pressure be in tires on a 1996 GMC Jimmy SUV?

You won't find a single "correct" air pressure for a 1996 GMC Jimmy's tires. The correct pressure depends on several factors:

* Tire size: The sticker on the driver's side doorjamb (or in the owner's manual) will specify the recommended tire size for your Jimmy. Different size tires require different pressures.

* Load: Are you carrying passengers or cargo? Heavier loads require higher tire pressure.

* Tire type: The sidewall of the tire will list the maximum pressure. This is not necessarily the recommended pressure, but it's a crucial upper limit.

Where to find the correct information:

1. Driver's side doorjamb sticker: This sticker is the most reliable source. It will list the recommended tire pressure for your specific vehicle configuration. Look for a sticker that shows tire size and corresponding pressure.

2. Owner's manual: Your owner's manual will also have a section dedicated to tire pressure recommendations.

3. Tire sidewall: The sidewall of the tire itself will have a maximum pressure listed. *Never* exceed this number. The recommended pressure will likely be lower.

In short: Don't rely on a generic answer. Check your doorjamb sticker or owner's manual for the most accurate information. If you can't find it, consult a tire professional.
