How to use a tire inflator (with PSI chart)
Set the inflator to the pressure on your driver’s door sticker (vehicle load PSI), not the maximum molded on the tire sidewall. Auto shut-off exists so you do not guess in the dark.

Rough PSI reference (always prefer the door sticker)
| Vehicle / tire | Typical cold PSI range |
|---|---|
| Many passenger cars | 32–36 PSI |
| Many crossovers / SUVs | 33–40 PSI |
| Light truck (varies widely) | See door sticker / placard |
| Road bike (high pressure) | Often 80–120+ PSI — check tire |
