Tire Inflation Question
got a quick question -
my tires say to max inflate to 44psi.
when i got the car back from hte tire place with new tires put on, they were inflated to 35 psi.
the manual says to inflate tires to 27 psi.
the tires are obviously not stock, but same size tire as stock.
what should PSI be?

You want to use what the Vehicle Manufacturer says, which is on either the Drivers Door Jam, or the Gas Flap.
The MAX Tire pressure listed on the tire is the Maximum Tire pressure in which that tire can handle without problems and you should be no where near the Max Tire pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire.
