How much air in the tires????

I know to look on drivers door for air pressure. The drivers door show 235/70/r15 32 psi. I run 265/70/r16 and all it shows on the tire is max 80psi cold. A'm I missing something? Rick

check your tires, some manufacturers have the recommended psi on the tire itself

Never ever air your tires up to the MAX pressure that's on the sidewall of your tires, you're just asking for trouble. 34 PSI should suffice.

Put a chaulk line on your tire and drive around. You want to adjust your air psi until you can see about 1/8" of chaulk at the edge of your tread.
