Look at your driver side door. Nakasulat naman yun dun.

But generally, SUVs/pickups have recommended pressures of 35-38.

The Driver's side pillar (not door) for the 2011 Alterra recommendation is PSI 26 unloaded and PSI 29 loaded.......important...these are "cold" readings.

However, I ride, mostly unloaded, on PSI 30 which gives me a more "sure-footed" feel for stability, and a major increase in fuel economy.

Personally, I find PSI 35 might be OK for pickups rear, but would recommend experimentation by yourself to find the "ideal" PSI for your personal driving style, roads usually travelled and comfort/fuel economy compromise.

Ciao!

Ako naman, sa 265/70 R16, 33 or 35 psi. Dyan mo lang laruin yun pressure.

Hi sir JHunter,

Ang sagot diyan chief sa tingin ko lang ay humigit-kumulang or more or less lang sigurado ahihi

Cheers at happy new year! ;)

Minsan in kpa nakasulat sa driver side. But 30-35 should be the norm.

Generally, you should follow the door pressures. They'll give you the best comfort at the "unladen" pressure. If you are carrying heavy loads, use the "fully loaded" recommendation. This will give you better economy, too.

-

If the door sticker suggests a pressure under 30 psi (as Isuzu door stickers typically do), disregard and use 32-35 psi (minimum), as this is safer on the highway. Pressures under 30 psi can lead to tire overheating and blowouts when driving at high speeds over long distances.

-

Note that the door sticker is merely a minimum safe recommendation. If you don't mind a stiffer ride, you can go higher. I typically use 40-45 psi on my Crosswind's 235/70R16 tires. Gives better economy and better handling. If the pressure is too high, however, the front tires start to tramline on the highway, so adjust accordingly.

Sir Niky, will having higher psi on your tires affect or soften your suspension/shock absorbers in the long run or eventually damage it?

Good question. If the tires are too stiff and the suspension can't handle it, yes, there will be premature wear on some parts. 40 psi, however, should not be too high for that size of tire. There will still be some give in the sidewall.
