Hi All,
The tire pressure area of the sticker on my door is blank, so I'm not sure what the correct pressure should be. From searching, appears to be 32psi. Could someone verify that this is correct? Tire pressure light keeps going on...
Thanks,
Rip

Yes, if you have the 18" rims then 32 is correct.

hi WHealy,
My plate (not on door, but on door jam) says 32 psi.
Stock tires: 32 psi cold
Snow tires: 36 psi cold (books says to use stock pressure + 4.3 psi)

That's cold pressure for either, right?

Thanks, all. Yep, 18" rims--and I have to assume that's cold pressure also.

Yes - cold pressure.

stated pressures are always 'cold' - which of course is relative to your location and where the tires are filled. If a garage were to fill your tires at 32 and it was 20-23C or 70-75F in that garage and your car had acclimated to that and you were to drive it out into a 22 degree environment, you'd soon be 4-5 lbs under on each tire. figure 1 lb per 10 degrees ambient temp.

This gets cute when New England remembers how to have a winter day. When I left work today, it was 13F out. The tire pressure light came on, but went off again after I was on the highway for a few minutes, implying that they warmed up enough to get normal pressure. This could get annoying. :-)
