I just bought new tires for my car and have a question regarding the air pressure. I will be driving quite a bit in the next week and want to be sure I am not wearing them out unnecessarily. The tires are Bridgestone Turanza EL 440 and the size is 235/40 92V. The recommendations on the inside of the driver’s door are 38 psi for the front and 36 for the rear. The tires say 40 psi is the max. The very reputable tire company that installed my tires have them at 40 psi all the away around.
I normally have tire change outs taken care of at the dealer but they were swamped due to the pandemic. The dealer has always followed the recommendations on the label inside the driver’s door. My new tires were installed on Thursday and the tire shop is closed from Friday through Monday so I cannot get an answer from them. I am driving to Chicago tomorrow and want to ensure I am not wearing them out with incorrect pressure.
Any advice on the best air pressure for these tires is welcome.
