Pressure is on in tire debate- Let the maker be your guide
Friday, December 30, 2005
Dear Tom and Ray: When looking for the correct tire pressure, you say to check the recommendation by the manufacturer of the car, not the manufacturer of the tire. But how does the car manufacturer know what kind of tires I bought? I have no idea what kind of tires came with a '98 Volvo, but I'm pretty sure I haven't bought that type. Wouldn't the tire manufacturer know better what the pressure should be for its specific tire? Please clarify. I get different answers from different mechanics.
