Inflation -- Tire Pressure The CertificationRire label, which is on the rear edge of the driver's door, or on the incomplete vehicle document in the cab, shows correct inflation pressures for your the tires when they're cold. "Cold" means your vehicle has been sitting forat least three hours or driven no more than 1 mile ( 1.6 km). You can operate some vehicles at reduced inflation pressures only when you'll be carrying reduced loads. On those vehicles, the minimum cold inflation pressures for a typical reduced load are printed on the Improved Ride Tire Pressure label located on the driver's door. Weigh the vehicle to find the load on each tire and see the label for the minimum cold inflation pressures for that load. NOTICE: Don't let anyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is all right. It's not. If your tires don't have enough air (underinflation), you can get the following: Too much flexing Too much heat Tire overloading Bad wear Bad handling Bad fuel economy. If your tires have too muchair (overinflation), you can get the following: Unusual wear Bad handling Rough ride Needless damage from road hazards. 6-44
