Tyre Pressures

Just wondering what the correct pressures are for my 5th Gen. It is totally standard with standard tyres. At the moment I'm guessing 32psi? Cheers

it should tell you in your owners manual or on the inside of your door (the sticker) if i remember right.

32 psi if memory serves me correctly. Though Cheetoh is correct, the tire/tyre pressure should be listed in your owner's manual and on the driver's side door or door frame, unless someone peeled it off.

SnOwAnGeL is correct it is 32, this is the tire pressure for most small vehicles. I checked mine about a week ago while i was already working on it. I just cant wait till i get my job at the local chevy dealer so i can use there nitrogen pump.

I woudn't use 32 psi. There really is no correct psi because.... The lower your psi the more grip you will have but your tyre will wear out more and you will not have as good gas millage. If your psi was higher like at about 40 you will get less grip but good gas millage and you will probably feel the road. I had my ones at 44psi which was maximum air pressure for my tyre and I noticed I was getting 750km's worth of gas for about 5 months and it went worse but that's because the car was due for another oil change. Did the oil change and it's back up again. But if you do do that be safe on the road no speeding and don't follow people too closely

Tire pressure depends on the TIRE you bought. There's no universal tire pressure; look at your tire sidewall.

Am I the only one who runs more than 32psi in the fronts? Mine look almost flat with 32psi. I've been running 40-45psi up front the entire time I've had my 5th gen. Maybe my gauges are bad.

^thanks, probably because they only made 2800 in the US, I forgot how many they imported out to Germany / Europe / other parts of the world.
