Tire pressure

[rc_cola_j]

I have a 2000 R50. The door sticker says 26psi (cold).....is this right? Seems pretty low for tire pressure.

 

Hat are you guys running for your pressures?

what does it say on the tires, the manufacturer will say a lower tire pressure for a softer ride,

I always go with what the tire says also better gas milage

I have 265/70r16 and i go between 34-36psi for urban riding...

Run 35 psi on mine until I need to air down to 15 on the trails.

Thanks. Why would the door stickers be so low?

Its for a smoother ride basically.

Whatever pressure you go with, check the tires for wear.

 

Wear in the middle, too much air.

Wear on the outsides of the tire, too little air.

 

Having said that, I have 31's on my pathfinder and I'm running at 30psi. I'm not noticing any weird wearing. I haven't tried a higher pressure.

Thanks everyone

^{I need to check the other boards more frequently.... The year of your model is about the same time frame that Firestone got their nuts in a bind about tires blowing out, causing accidents. The lower tire pressure will give you a smoother ride, but it's probably not as good for the tire since it is continually flexing the sidewall. My dad had a Ford Explorer that fell under that recall, and the fix was to replace the tires and put a new sticker on the door jam which increased the recommended tire pressure. With that lesson learned, although Nissan wasn't directly affected by it, I would run no less than 30-35psi.}
