The correct inflation pressure is found in two places:
1. The sticker on your driver's side doorjamb: This sticker shows the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle's specific tire size when carrying a typical load. This is your starting point.
2. The sidewall of your tires: Each tire will have a maximum pressure rating printed on the sidewall. Never exceed this maximum pressure.
Important Considerations:
* Payload: If you're carrying a heavy load (towing, hauling cargo), you'll need to increase the tire pressure according to the load-carrying capacity of your tires. Consult your owner's manual for load-carrying information and how to adjust tire pressure based on load.
* Tire Size: Different tire sizes have different pressure requirements. Make sure you are looking at the information for the *correct* size tires on your truck.
In short: Find the sticker on your doorjamb, check your tire sidewalls for maximum pressure, and consult your owner's manual for load-related pressure adjustments. Using the information from these three sources is crucial for safe and optimal tire performance.
