Tire Inflation Calculator — Calculate Proper Tire Pressure & PSI

Tire Inflation Calculator

Calculate the correct tire pressure for your vehicle with our comprehensive calculator. Determine optimal PSI based on vehicle weight, tire size, load, and driving conditions.

Step 1: Vehicle & Tire Specifications

28 PSI

Understanding Tire Pressure

Proper tire pressure is essential for safety, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance and wear, while overinflation reduces traction.

Step 2: Driving Conditions & Load

About Pressure Adjustments

Increase pressure by 2-4 PSI for highway driving, decrease slightly for winter conditions, and adjust for heavy loads. Always check manufacturer recommendations in your vehicle’s door jamb.

Tire Pressure Guidelines

Optimal Pressure = Base Pressure × Load Factor × Condition Factor

Base pressure varies by vehicle and tire size. Load factor adjusts for passengers/cargo (1.0 for normal, 1.1 for heavy). Condition factor adjusts for driving type (1.05 for highway, 0.98 for winter).
