Tire Pressu res for High -Speed Operation

speed s, maintaining correct tire inflation pressu re is very
important. Increased tire pressu re and red uced vehicle
load ing may be requ ired for high-sp eed vehicle opera-
tion. Refer to original-equ ipment inform ation, or an
authorized tire dealer, for recom mend ed safe operating
speed s, load ing and cold tire inflation pressu res.
Tire pressu res change by approxim ately 1 psi (7 kPa) per
12°
F (7° C) of air tem peratu re change. Keep this in mind
when checking tire pressu re insid e a garage, especially in
the Winter.
Example: If garage tem peratu re is 68°F (20°C) and the
outsid e tem peratu re is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire
inflation pressu re shou ld be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equ als 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this
outsid e tem peratu re cond ition.
