quick tire pressure question

[Black Magic]

ok i was looking at the tire pressure and i have kuhmo 215/40/17's and the tire pressure was 25lbs in the fronts and 21 in the rears? but that just doesn't seem right does anyone know what they are suppose to be at, or where i can find out what they are supposed to be at?

Isn't the recommended psi on the tire somewhere??

[Black Magic]

on the tire it said 44psi but does that equal 44lbs? also that seems kind of high, no?

[cdaw2001ES]

psi = Pounds per square inch.
44lbs does seem high - but I've nerver had perfromance 17s - that MIGHT be the tires weight? I'm pretty sure my tires say 35 PSI max or something like that - But I'm rollin stock 15's and I keep em at 32/29 like the door says

That 44 psi is probably the max psi, don't inflate them to over that amount. What you have in there though right now is definitely too low fro normal driving. You want to have it at least like 32psi. Usually the lower the profile of the tires, the higher the psi. I have 225/40/18's, and I keep them at about 40psi. Anything lower, and I start getting awfully close to driving with the sidewall touching the ground. The max psi for my tires is 50psi. Hope that helps

so the fronts are supposed to have more air in them than the rears right?

[cdaw2001ES]

yes -the front weighs more
