Awesome video, very informative. I wondered why my tire pressure light came on when the temperature changes during the winter months, thanks so much for the explanation and advice.
Thank you very much!! Yes that is why. As long as they’re topped off with air at the first cold snap, they should be fine throughout the winter months. Thanks for watching
Awesome video bro. Great tutorial on the tire pressures.
Thanks a lot bro!!! 👍 👍
That was the best explanation that I wanted to hear that pertains to me. Thank you very much for that.
Awesome! I’m glad I could help!! Thank you for the comment! That’s motivation!!
Great video! Funny thing is, I set my new 20s at 38 all around too, we’ll 40 fronts and 38 rear and after summer and winter months, it went to 31-32psi all around 😮😮 even the dash didn’t light up “tire low” for some reason and I usually check it every couple months.
*ALSO, be careful when you get your cars/truck serviced by dealership for oil changes or tire rotation! My last last set of 20s, they inflated to 75-80 max psi and it rode super rough and hard! Thought it was the tires because the life was below 50% so got new tires and became more “educated” in this tire psi and I’m keeping track monthly myself lol (and doing my own tire rotation, and nobody touched my lug nuts but me lol😂 dealers/tire shops always scuff/damage the lug nuts too) 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot! My tires did the exact same thing when winter hit! Dropped about 12psi. They are super sensitive to weather changes. My truck didn’t alert me either and I think it only will if below 30psi.
They inflated your tires to 75psi?!?! What?! I’ve definitely experienced them scratching up lug nuts. They also lost the bolt to my center cap! I’ve stopped being lazy and like you doing everything myself again, from oil changes to tire rotations. Thanks for the comment! #motivationcrew
Thank you so much for the info. much appreciated.
You’re welcome bro! Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Ferris here.......when I worked at the tire shop we would get a lot of air pressure checks when a cold front came through.......I run 60 in the rear 50 in the front of my daily driver that I have because of everything that I have in the bed.......good info....a lot of people don't even pay attention to air pressure in tires ........new video on 6" lift on the f150 is out on the channel.......be safe out there....🙂
Thanks for the info! Do you notice a difference in ride quality with those figures?
Also, what size tires are you running?
Back in the 90s most car tires ran 30-35 psi. Now, it's 44 to 51 psi on the tire. Yet , the sticker in the door on a 2006 car says 30 front...35 back. If the tire max is 51 I run them 44. If tire max is 80 psi I run 50 Psi. I get max mileage out of all my tires with no abnormal wear.
That’s Interesting information. I wonder why the change in recommended psi. I’m sure tires have evolved and are constructed differently but that’s a big difference
This comment is 🎯. We only run door sticker psi with factory tires and rims. When we modify rims and tires we run all of them close to the cold max psi on the tire to improve gas mileage and life.
Max tire pressure is only if you’re towing or hauling stuff never use that for daily driving must be a dump truck driving 😂😂😂😂
It’s the fact that your tires say “mutant” 😂. No Recent car shows. Omg I just learned that the other day. I was wondering why my pressure kept fluctuating. I’ve never experienced that until this year. Or maybe hubby handled it. 😂 My car is usually at 39-41 but it was going as low as 28. Great info as always.
Cori Luv! Unfortunately I was unable to make it to the past few car shows. Hopefully I can get to the next one.
So yours were about the same as mine, dropped down to about 28. Thanks a lot for watching!!!
Excellent informative video. I once heard that tires will gain or lose 1 psi for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit change in ambient temperature. Also that it is not uncommon for tires to lose 1 psi per month from micro leakage. I check my tire pressure at least once a month in the morning before the car has been driven and the tires are “cold” with a digital tire pressure gauge.
Tires losing 1 psi per month makes a lot of sense! If that’s true, then my tires were almost exactly where they should be with the leakage.
I would like to test the 1 psi per 10 degree temp change. It’s supposed to get colder here this weekend so I will look into that! Thanks for the comment!!
This is correct
good video, and excellent information to share... also just a good note to let people know about, MOST tires will say on them what the recommened, and max tire pressure is for that make and model tire. it is usually listed on the sidewall of the tire right around where the tire size is listed
That is true! I was looking for it but for some reason, it wasn’t listed on my tires. I will make sure to post another video about it and mention it. Thanks a lot bro!!
Yes a lot of larger tires and off-road tires do not have it on the side wall unfortunately... but most tires do... also a suggestion, maybe u already have it but if u don't there is a kit u can buy for the rear seat release on ur truck. There is a decent amount of room behind that seat to store things like tools, air compressors, and jump packs.... if u don't already have it I recommend buying and installing it. Costs about $10 or $20 and installs in about 5 minutes
@@christopherpfleegor4447 thanks bro! Yes I do have a seat release latch, but with the kids car seats strapped in, I still can’t access behind the seat right now. I may get a storage unit for under the seat and use that space.
Can't use factory psi if using oversized tires. 37 is most likely way too low. Cool site for tire pressures. Thanks for sharing
Exactly! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
This is was a good video !!!
Thanks a lot! Thanks for the watching!
What you are saying about the fluctuations in tire pressure due to outside air temperature is true. But the “cold” designation on the door sticker is referring to tire pressure prior to driving, before running the tires. They will get warm at highway speeds, hard driving etc. These PSI numbers are to accommodate maximum load capacity (GVWR). If you are not at the maximum weight rating for the car, you can run lower pressure. Usually the tire manufacturers have those charts that coincide with your actual weight you are running at. Better ride quality versus running at max PSI all the time. Cheers.
😂 I thought I responded to your comment a long time ago… so you’re saying to go under the recommendation because that is for cold and before load?
@@MeAndCarKeys No. I am saying the cold temp rating is the number prior to operating the vehicle, not the weather. When you run the tires, the pressure will rise due to the expansion of gas due to heat. If you set the pressure on a warm tire, when it cools, it will have less pressure in it.
You don’t have to run the tires at max pressure if you are not at max vehicle gross weight. It can be commensurate with the actual weight. The manufacturer should have charts for the right pressure for the weight you are at.
I use it as a reference. If I’m traveling.
Gotcha bro! Are they accurate for you? thanks for watching
@@MeAndCarKeys best that I can tell it’s about 2 pounds off
That was a great video, everything someone would need to know about keeping good pressure in their tires. One of the best purchases I ever made, was an air compressor for my garage. Saves you from having to do the gas station run and pay 2.50 every time. Another suggestion, take a gallon ziplock bag and fill it with a small crescent wrench, a magnetic screwdriver with the little bits in the handle, a pair of pliers, a tire pressure gauge, a tire inflater, a few assorted zip ties, some tape, and even some spare bulbs and fuses if your vehicle still has bulbs. Throw it in the glove box or under the seat. I’ve got one in my truck, both my kids and their spouses vehicles. You may never need it, but it will be as handy as pockets on your underwear if you do need it.
pocket on your underwear huh???? never heard thta one before.... think i might use that, LMAO
@@christopherpfleegor4447 , used to work with a guy who grew up in Georgia, he said that all the time. The things we pick up.
Lol pockets on your underwear!!! That’s great advice Jimmy, like a small tool kit to keep at all times just incase. And an air compressor would be a great investment! Could use it for a number of other things as well!
By the way, I got your package! Very much appreciated! Will definitely install in a video very soon!! Thanks very much!!
@@MeAndCarKeys , exactly, I call it my oh shit kit. You won’t rebuild an engine, but it might get you out of a tight spot. You are certainly welcome for the item , trying not to give it away in the comments, but I’ve had good luck with mine. Just good to see people try to help folks out with useful information, and if I can help out a little, glad to do it.
Yes, a small tool kit is one of the best investments u can make to keep in a vehicle. Personally I went and bought a mechanic tool kit that I keep behind the rear seat in my truck, and also went to harbor freight and bought a small air compressor that I also keep in the back seat. Can't tell u how many times I have used both items not just for myself but for others as well... another suggestion would be a small jump box. I have one that my in laws got me for Christmas some years ago it's in a case about the size of a medium sized book.. again can't tell u how many times I have used it for jumping vehicles, and mine also can be used to charge phones, it has all kinds of hook ups
So how have the mutant tires been so far?
They’ve been great so far! I’ve only done road driving, nothing Offroad but they handle great, ride smooth, and are very quiet on the road. Thanks for watching and for the comment
Does 80 psi cold mean I can inflate my tires to 80 psi with no problems?
Thats typically what it means, however make sure it does say cold “max” meaning the maximum psi cold. When it warms, tires expand and the psi goes up just from pressure which would mean they’re over inflated. Also, 80psi is super high!! My tires are at 35psi now. What type and size tires are you running?
That online system is saying 20 psi lower than max... I'd go 15 lower , but not 20 👍🏻
Gotcha!! Thanks for the advice! I’ve noticed that the online is not completely accurate; doesn’t take into consideration different types and brands of tire. Thanks again! #motivationcrew
why do my tires say cold 80 psi..that seems really high
That seems very high to me as well. I believe My tires max is 60! What size tires do you have?
@@MeAndCarKeys it’s my f150. I’m
Not sure ide have to go look
Air is free at QT and Discount Tire
😂 lol thanks, I considered it. But this gas station was closer to me. And Both the QT air pumps near me are typically broken. 😂

Hi Do you open for some off road lighting sponsorship:)
Hi Auxbeam! Sure I’m open! Let’s talk. My email is meandcarkeys1@gmail.com
Did you ever send an email?
@@MeAndCarKeys Hi I replied your email!
That calculator on that site is telling me 50 psi is recommended. My tires say 44 max psi. Lol something ain't adding up
Yeah that’s definitely not correct! What psi are you currently running??
So the tire pressure on the door jam is only a factory suggested pressure. It is NOT necessary the proper inflated pressure for you vehicle. My Jeep came factory with 35” tires. The door jam sticker states they should be at 37psi for 315/70R-17 (35” tire) that is absolutely not the proper road pressure for these tires.
I see what you mean, it’s based more on application. I’m guessing they have to provide a “safe” psi legally, but to your point, there are a lot of other factors involved.
@@MeAndCarKeys it’s more about mpg. 37psi in a tire that should only be 28psi is also not safer as only the the center of the tread touches the road. You also get poor handling and sacrifice tire life with too much pressure. It’s hard to understand why they do this but I’m sure the bean counters have their reasons.
Damn using the calculator mine says 55psi
That seems high! Is that the suggested PSI or the max?? The Max on my tires is 65
@@MeAndCarKeys using the calculator that was the reccomended.. My max on the tire is 65 also. But i think it also has alot to do with the factory 20s that came on the truck. 275/55R20 and 37 psi on the door placard.
This problem with youtube. People who aren't experts making videos about stuff they don't know anything about
😂 Thanks for the comment!
Not all tire pressure gauges are accurate.
Very very true!! I trust this more than the digital gauges. Is there one you’d recommend? Thanks for the comment!
@@MeAndCarKeys I don’t know about a certain brand or type. But when worked in a commercial tire shop years ago, my boss had what he called a master pressure gauge and every six months he would make us test our gauges versus the master one. If we were more than three pounds out of speck, we had to get a new one. They weren’t cheap ones either.
