* The specific year of your van: Tire pressure recommendations change over the years.
* The size of your tires: Different sized tires require different pressures. This information is found on the tire sidewall (e.g., P235/75R15).
* The load you're carrying: More weight requires higher pressure.
* Whether you have a spare tire: Spare tires often have different pressure recommendations.
Where to Find the Correct Information:
1. Your Driver's Side Doorjamb: The sticker on the driver's side doorjamb is the most reliable source. It will specify the recommended tire pressure for your specific vehicle and tire size. This is the *cold tire pressure*—meaning the pressure should be checked when the tires haven't been driven on for at least three hours.
2. Your Owner's Manual: The owner's manual will also have a section detailing recommended tire pressures.
3. The Tire Sidewall: The maximum pressure for your tire is printed on the sidewall. Do not inflate your tires to this maximum unless specified in your doorjamb sticker or owner's manual. This maximum is a safety limit, not a recommended pressure.
In short: Don't rely on general internet searches for tire pressure. Always check the sticker on your driver's side doorjamb or your owner's manual for the correct tire pressure for your specific Dodge Ram B250.
