Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / June 200499 Malibu Tire Pressure ?
Hi all, i have a 99 maibu and i need to know what the tire pressure is for this car as my drivers rear door sticker that gives this info has mysteriously been removed...thanks Just look on the side of the tire, it always tells that information! > Hi all, i have a 99 maibu and i need to know what the tire pressure is for > this car as my drivers > rear door sticker that gives this info has mysteriously been > removed...thanks Yes already did that but all that it say's is max tire pressure at 44lbs and nothing else,so anyone here have a 99 and would be willing to look for me please let me know...thanks >Just look on the side of the tire, it always tells that information! > >> Hi all, i have a 99 maibu and i need to know what the tire pressure is for >> this car as my drivers >> rear door sticker that gives this info has mysteriously been >> removed...thanks Uh...no! That is the MAXIMUM pressure that the tire design can handle. You should use ONLY the pressure designed for the car. Most sedans are in the ~30PSI range. Check your owners manual if the door sticker has been lost. | Just look on the side of the tire, it always tells that information! | | > Hi all, i have a 99 maibu and i need to know what the tire pressure is for | > this car as my drivers | > rear door sticker that gives this info has mysteriously been | > removed...thanks I see that i need to be clearer,owners manual does not state the tire pressure and i dont have the door sticker...thats why i asked if anyone here had a 99 that would be willing to look at their door sticker as there was no way i would put 44lbs or max pressure in any tire. looks like i will just drop by a dealer and crack a door to find this out... >Uh...no!

I have a 1999, I just checked (sticker is on driver's side REAR door): 29psi front, 26psi rear (cold). Add 4psi to both if hot. This is for the original tires (Firestone Affinity in my case). Nothing wrong with 44psi if the tire says it can take it (and the tire is rated to fit your vehicle). > <AScooby@snack.com> wrote in message I see that i need to be clearer,owners manual does not state the tire pressure and i dont have the door sticker...thats why i asked if anyone here had a 99 that would be willing to look at their door sticker as there was no way i would put 44lbs or max pressure in any tire. looks like i will just drop by a dealer and crack a door to find this out... Quite often the tire lists the max pressure - if you inflate it to this pressure, the tire will wear down the center of the thred.

Always inflate to the vehicle specs. 44PSI when the vehicle calls for 26-29 is asking for trouble. >Check your owners manual if the door sticker has been lost. If you bought the car used, also check the area where the missing sticker should be for repaired crash damage.

I have a 99 Malibu, and I am 99% certain the sticker says 29 psi front and 26 psi rear. If I read any different when I check the car, I will let you know. Here's another question. I put winter tires on my car. They are slightly narrower, with a taller sidewall to preserve the overall height and keep the speedometer accurate. I assume I need a slightly higher pressure because of the narrower foot print, but I'm not sure how much more. Any thoughts?

Thanks Brad and Chris for your responses. Chris, I myself went to a higher profile tire and noticed harder steering and different handling characteristics.i played with the tire pressure to try and get it back to where it felt like it was before. 32lbs front and 30lbs rear .i will be going back to a lower profile tire this summer as the car feels like it handles better on them...hope this helps. Thank you, I definitely noticed a smoother ride with a taller sidewall (not as much jolting), and didn't notice any loss in handling. Of course, these tires are winter tires, so the softer rubber compound might explain the softer ride.
