* Tire size: The sticker on your driver's side doorjamb will list the recommended tire size(s) for your truck. Different tire sizes have different recommended pressures.
* Load: Are you carrying a heavy load? More weight requires higher pressure.
* Tire condition: Older tires may have slightly different pressure requirements than new ones.
Where to find the recommended tire pressure:
1. Driver's side doorjamb sticker: This is the most reliable source. It will show the recommended pressure for the original tire size fitted to your truck. *This is your primary reference*.
2. Tire sidewall: The maximum pressure for your tire is printed on the sidewall. This is the *maximum* and not necessarily the recommended pressure for daily driving. Never exceed this maximum.
3. Owner's manual: Your owner's manual might have a table of recommended pressures for different tire sizes and load conditions.
In short: Check the sticker on your driver's side doorjamb. That's the best and safest place to find the recommended tire pressure for your specific 1996 Chevy S-10 ZR2 4x4.
