It doesn't say on the sidewall? I would go with 35 psi.

the number on the sidewall is the max psi that the tire can handle, that doesn't mean that's what you should inflate them to.

Inflate to 32-35 PSI. I work at a tire shop and thats what we put all tires at. Unless its like a Chevy 2500HD then its like 75PSI

Ive tried everywhere between 30-44 psi and 38 psi works best for me on my 195/55/15s .

cars don't have PSI limits, tires do. and they are NOT all the same.

importdude:: the tire pressure depends on your driving. if you are just driving around town, you won't heat up the tires as much as if you were taking twisty roads as fast as you can without going off a cliff. since pressure is directly related to heat, the more heat = more pressure. I have 205/45-16 es100s and I go 32 front 35 rear or somewhere around there [gas station air pump gauges are crap]. if you put them at 40 or more, they can easily heat up and push you over the 50psi max.

and turning isn't all that heats up tires, driving fast in a straight line [90 on the freeway] will do it, too!

apologies if you know some of this already, but your post didn't specify, so there ya go.

holy **** is it hella hard daily driving now...bumps are very very hard
i think imma lower it to 32ish on all corners

but this may sound dumb but how do i get it to 32 exaclty?

having a psi gauge is the ONLY way pretty much, to get a specific psi. over at a SHELL gas station here where i live, they have a digital tire pressure gauge built in. you set your psi, (32,35,psi etc) and let it do its thing.

but i always double check with my digital psi reader just to make sure.

also make sure you air up your tires when they're warm. or after a day of driving. also i heard in winter, to fill them up a tad bit more then if you were to fill them up in the summer. cuz the tires mostly run colder then they do in the summer.

but thats just what i heard, not sure how accurate that is

you're actually supposed to air your tires when they're cold, before they get warm and the air pressure goes up.
