It does not say on the tire and the manual gives the pressure for the tires that came stock on the bike. Also, if you know this, where did you get your info. I think I remember someone saying 35 psi for both. Thanks.

I have a 2005 Chevy Cobalt and the rear right tire is slowly leaking. It loses a little more than 0.5 PSI per day. Optimal tire pressure is 30 PSI. I checked the sidewall, and there don’t appear to be any tears. My car has not been in any accidents recently, so I have no idea what it wrong with it. What is the cheapest way to solve this problem?

Lets say my Nitrogen Filled tire gets a nail in it and has a slow leak, it gets to 18 psi and I fill it up with good ole’ compressed air. Will this cause a risk of explosion ? I have been told it will, but I am sorry I don’t buy it. So I thought that I would come to see what others opinions where.

The sticker on my SUV’s door states that I have to add 7psi to the tire pressure when the tires are warm, but I have been inflating my tires with nitro and I don’t know if this the same rule applies or it less due to the benefits of using nitro. Any idea? Thanks,

Perpetual Traveller asked:


My motorcycle’s manual tells me that the optimal tire air pressure is 25psi for the front wheel. At what level of discrepancy in psi reading should I be concerned that I need to adjust tire pressure? Is a difference in +2 / -2 OK? What if it is +5 / -5? How exact should this be?

jparent70 asked:


I was wondering if anyone knew how important tire valve stem caps were in maintaining inflation pressure in auto tires? I noticed one of my tires losing air slowly (from 30 psi to 21 psi in about a week) and this tire (unlike the other three) also had a missing tire valve stem cap. I’ve just replaced it, and was wondering if a missing valve stem cap caused faster loss of tire pressure.

Soul Of The Messiah asked:


I’m looking to get a good generator/air compressor for the shop. I will be changing some tires and need to know what the minimum cfm/psi is to get the tires to bead on the rims without too much wrestling.
I’ll be using it for cars and full size pickups. No monster tires or anything like that
