Tire Inflation

[fsfrick]

What is the proper tire inflation (PSI) for a 2004 Vibe? Where is the tire inflation sticker, or where is the info in the user's manual?FSF

32 psi I think it's on the sticker in the glove box.

Most vehicles have it on the driver's side door. I think many manufactures standardized (if you can call it that) after the whole firestone/ford disaster.Regardless, my '05 has it on the door.

check your actual tires, it should tell you the max PSI, if you're going for max MPGs run about 2PSI underneath max, if you want more comfort then i would suggest 32-36

36 mpg improve fuel economy. but the ride is a little stiff on low profiles. it feels fine on stock tires.

I run my tires at 32 psi front and 30 psi rear. My wife's Maxima is set up the same (33/30) . The weight distribution on the Vibe is 60/40 front and rear so the 30 psi on the rear makes the ride less jumpy.
