there's a white sticker on the inside of the drivers door that will tell you *about* how much air to put in the tires. I say "about" because that sticker assumes you have the original tires and a light load. to be honest, if you stick with those pressures you'll be fine. BTW, increasing the pressure 15-20% will increase your fuel economy by a few percent.

The best thing to do is look on the tire. In very small print (put on your glasses), it will tell you what pressure to inflate the tire to. It is best to use this as a means of use because people are subject to move away from the factory tire and the pressures should be inflated to the tire manufacture spec...

luiz, DO NOT inflate your tire to what's on the tire sidwall. That is the MAXIMUM pressure allowed (typically 4 psi on a passenger car tire) and will result in an incredibly harsh ride and will wear the tires out in the center sooner. It will also effect both handling and braking for the worse. That pressure is only to let the owner know what pressure to NEVER go above, in case for instance, you are towing and need to adjust your pressure up.
