Tire pressure for Heritage Wheels - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello,

I bought a set of take-offs for the winter.
I have tried to find the recommended pressure for the 18" steel Heritage wheels with no luck.

Can anyone tell me what to set them to?
The mornings are getting colder and I was thinking of putting them on this weekend.

tire pressure is determined by the tire size...not the rim size!

Sorry, I didn't elaborate that I bought the rims and tires off a LS.

The tire pressure is determined by the auto manufacturer based on the load and weight of the vehicle.
This information is usually on the the drivers side door jam.
Mine has 20's from the factory and the cold is 36 psi.

Brick's post matches what I know, the TP is determined by the vehicle specifications and not the tires.
Even with the winter wheels and tires, inflate them based on what it says on the door jamb.

When I learned this, I was very concerned since the subject of my inquiry was my motorcycle and tire pressure on a bike is nothing to joke about.
