Should all four tires have the same air pressure?
The manufacturer’s recommendation (Usually on a decal on the door pillar) is the ideal pressure for a compromise between handling, ride comfort, noise and tire wear and they do not always recommend the same pressure on all tires of a car. My Honda, for instance, recommends 33 PSI front and 32 PSI rear.
Why is it important to have all four tires with the same air pressure?
The rolling radius of all four tires needs to be the same on AWD cars. With the same rated size tires and same air pressure front and rear the greater weight on the front will cause lower rolling radius there.
How do you reset the tire pressure sensor on a Nissan Maxima?
Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it. Start the car and wait 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh. The tire pressure monitor reset button is usually located beneath the steering wheel. If you can’t find it, check your vehicle’s user’s manual.

However, they have added load capacity above certain pressures. Light and Standard Load tires have a maximum capacity pressure rating of 35-36 psi and Extra load tires have a maximum capacity pressure rating of 41-42 psi.

Look in the owners’ manual or on the inside of the driver’s side door for the standard cold tire inflation pressure. This number is the lowest PSI one would inflate the tires to and is suggested by the car’s manufacturer.
The Tire and Loading Information label is affixed to the driver side center pillar. Tire pressures should be checked regularly because: – Most tires naturally lose air over time. – Tires can lose air suddenly when driven over potholes or other objects or if the vehicle strikes a curb while parking.

Why is my TPMS warning light on my spare tire?
Don’t Forget The Spare. If your vehicle has a TPMS, it’s probably monitoring the pressure in your spare tire. Therefore, if you get a low tire pressure warning light, and if you’ve checked all four tires that are touching the ground, than you might need to put some air in the spare.
What to look for when your TPMS light is on?
Check for any signs of sagging or deformities in your tires’ shape. Also look for an “egg” in your tire sidewalls…a tire with a damaged sidewall can fail without warning at any speed above 25 mph. As you can imagine, surprise tire failures at high speeds can be a bit dicey. So check your tires carefully.
