I dont think Im going to check mine. If they start to wear uneven its a good excuse to get some new tires (it came w/ 225's on it [&:][:@])

Don't set them at the Sidewall pressure...that is the Maximum. Like mentioned above, the tire pressure will increase 3-5 lbs when driven (hot) and that could spell trouble. There should be a sticker on the pass side b-piller (where the striker is) that tells you what size the tire should be, what the pressure should be, and what the spare should be as well.

I could tell you a horror story about a dealership here in town that put Passenger tires on a 14 pass van. They overinflated the tires on it (what the door sticker said) it ended up rolling over due to a tire blowing out....it killed 12 people.[:'(][&o]

Tires aren't to be F'd with.

Go no higher than 2-3 psi below the MAX and no lower than 30 (max 35 psi) or 37 (max 44psi) Also depends on weather and your driving habits.
