PSI on 15" tires

I'm ready to put on my snow tires.
That means taking my SE rims off and putting on 15" steels.
Is the PSI the same for the 15" steels as they are the 16" alloys ?

If you read the side of the tire, it should say "Max Pressure ??psi"

Yea but that doesn't mean you should fill the tire to that amount. I don't know what the maximum is on the Toyos, but it's probably like 40 psi. Nobody in their right mind would run the tires at 40 psi, it would be like having granite tires.

32fr & 29rr seem to be the norm.

TOM

The sticker on my car says it should be 29 front and 29 rear for my 15" tires. I have alloy rims though and I don't know if it makes any difference.

17's are more

Since they have low-pro's on em, you want to fill em to like 40 to 44 psi.. if you ever run somthing over the rim can actually puncture the tire...I run all mine at 42ish...You probably think differently
