Default Tire pressure

Can anyone tell me how much air (psi, lb's) should be in my tires. I cant find the sticker on my car that should tell me. I have a 1989 GT.

Check on your tires. Should be able to read somewhere on the sidewall what it recommends for tire pressure. Then adjust to what you want. If you want more traction (but faster wear), lower the pressure. If you want to run them a long time (and not so good traction), up the pressure. I've run as high as 45 with no problems. If you want a compromise of both traction and wear, run what's recommended on the tire.

ALrighty, but just fyi you should only put your tires at the psi told on the side of your tire unless your at the max load. It will mess up your tires and make it a rough ride.

32psi is a general good pressure for most tires, it won't be too much for anything. That's only like if you don't really car or somehow the info's rubbed off your tires or something. Otherwise, in reality, go with the pressure that's written there on the side. Mine are actually rated at 51psi.
