Re: Tire Pressure
Unless you are running the exact factory supplied tire on a vehicle, you can
forget the factory recommended pressure and use it as a starting point. This
is more dramatic with older vehicles. The modern tires for my 60's vehicles
are recommended by their manufacturers to be run at different pressures
than the old style tires. I just put a set of 13s on my 82 Jetta that are
recommended to run at 51 PSI (factory 28-32PSI), and they both ride great
and are wearing fine at 50 PSI. My Golding running Avon Venom X tires is set
at max of 42PSI, but the same tires on my lightweight Triumph are best at
24PSI.
Most tire makers will give you a corrected pressure based upon your vehicle,
type of driving, and vehicle weight, and that is still only a starting point
to be experimented with.

Re: Tire Pressure
All of what Paul says may be true, if not overly complicated.
If one is going to use a Rule of Thumb, the best and easiest Rule of Thumb
is to put in 30 psi, then adjust from there.
I have to disagree strongly though on what the Tire Makers will give you.
They will ONLY give you the max pressure ant the max loading, they will not
give you anything else. Okay, "some" might give more information, but they
are the exception rather than the rule.
The best and most reliable Starting Point for a passenger car or light truck
is 30psi. Your mileage may vary.
