Remove the valve cap from the
tire valve stem. Press the tire
gauge firmly onto the valve to
get a pressure measurement.
If the cold tire inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label, no
further adjustment is necessary.
If the inflation pressure is low,
add air until the recommended
pressure is reached. If the
inflation pressure is high, press
on the metal stem in the center
of the tire valve to release air.
Recheck the tire pressure with
the tire gauge.
Return the valve caps on the
valve stems to prevent leaks
and keep out dirt and moisture.
Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
{
WARNING
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher, puts an
additional strain on tires.
Sustained high-speed driving
causes excessive heat buildup
and can cause sudden tire failure.
You could have a crash and you
or others could be killed. Some
high-speed rated tires require
inflation pressure adjustment for
high-speed operation. When
speed limits and road conditions
are such that a vehicle can be
driven at high speeds, make sure
the tires are rated for high-speed
operation, in excellent condition,
and set to the correct cold tire
inflation pressure for the
vehicle load.
Vehicles with 255/40ZR19 or
285/35ZR19 size tires require
inflation pressure adjustment when
driving the vehicle at speeds of
160 km/h (100 mph) or higher.
Set the cold inflation pressure to
the maximum inflation pressure
shown on the tire sidewall, or
300 kPa (44 psi), whichever is lower.
See the example following. Return
the tires to the recommended
cold tire inflation pressure when
high-speed driving has ended. See
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9‑12
and Tire Pressure on page 10‑74.
Example:
The maximum load and inflation
pressure is molded on the tire
sidewall, in small letters, near the
rim flange. It will read something
like this: Maximum load 690 kg
(1521 lbs) 300 kPa (44 psi) Max.
Press.
For this example, set the inflation
pressure for high‐speed driving at
300 kPa (44 psi).
