The max pressure listed on the tire will be different from the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure for your particular vehicle. You want to go with your manufacturer's recommendation (look for a sticker on your door jam or in your glove compartment, or look in your vehicle's owners manual to find the recommended tire pressure) As long as you don't exceed the max pressure on the tire, you are good to go.

So say you put too much air into your tires. How do you release the extra air out of it or can you?

The psi numbers you find on the sidewall of the tire are usually the max cold tire pressure and that could lead you to blow outs in the summer at interstate speeds. Read the door post sticker or owners manual.

@soloM81 Depends on what type of air gauge. Stick gauges have PSI reading in numbers. The top number that spits out is your tire's PSI.

Other PSI gauges have a needle that will point to your tire's PSI.

It's not that difficult. Anyone can figure this out if they just give it a try. The fact that you're here complaining that someone isn't telling you every little detail indicates that you're lazy. Just go do it and learn yourself.
