Temperature correction
Corrects cold pressure for a temperature swing, roughly 1 psi per 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tire pressure
Enter the pressure you set, the temperature then, and the current temperature to get the corrected cold pressure.
What it does
Corrects cold pressure for a temperature swing, roughly 1 psi per 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
How SL, C, D, and E tires differ in pressure and why LT tires need more pressure for the same load.
Placard pressure near 35 psi, typical daily pressures, and why 80 psi is a maximum, not a daily setting.
About 2 percent per 10 degrees Fahrenheit, which is roughly 1 psi per 10 degrees on a passenger tire near 35 psi. Pressure rises as it warms and falls as it cools.
Start from the door placard, usually around 35 psi for factory SL tires. Owners running load-range E tires often use about 36 to 40 psi daily and air down off-road.
No. 80 psi is the maximum inflation for a load-range E tire, not a daily setting. Running it that high on an empty mid-size truck rides harshly and wears the center.
