The pressure (PSI) on the side of each tire is the manufacture's recommendation to get the best performance and longest life out of each tire.  The tires we sell have varying recommended pressures.  Consult the side of each tire for the exact pressure you should run at.  Don't assume!

Running with Lower Air Pressure

While running the tire at lower air pressure than recommended may give the car a little smoother ride, deviating from the recommended pressure on the tire compromises the life and integrity of the tire.

Checking Air Pressure

The days of the full-service gas station are over, and we now have an entire generation that has never driven up to the gas pump and had their windows washed, their oil checked, or their air pressure measured and all for 22 cents/gallon.  Those days are long gone.

Now we need to check our own air pressure.  Just like the full service stations, you should verify your air pressure every time you fill up your car with gas.  For the general classic vehicle owner who only takes his or her car out once a month, you should check it every time before you go out for a drive.
