To look up what pressure to use you need to know what size tyres you have and that is not a problem as tyres have the size clearly shown in huge text.

RIM SIZE AND TYRE PRESSURE
The "Tyre Placard" on the drivers door tells you what pressure to put in the tyres.
I wrote this page when I found that on my particular car I also needed to know the rim size.
To look up what pressure to use you
need to know what size tyres you have and that is not a problem as
tyres have the
size clearly shown in huge text.
However as my car came fitted with P205/65 R15 95H tyres you can see from the label that I also need the RIM CODE
The
correct pressure is 29 PSI if I have 7J rims or 32 PSI if I
have 6J rims.
What
do you think these rims are---well I had no idea----the hand book did
not say--
Looking hard at the wheels on the car did not help.
To find the rim size I had to look at the inside of the spare ( it is the same as what is on the car) or take a wheel off.
Tyre
pressure is a safety concern and if for instance you borrow
a car you should be able to easily find the correct pressure
for the tyres. A remedy would be a "FITTED WITH 6J RIMS"
sticker or the rim size stamped on the outside of the wheels.
This is the sticker I made to sit just above the tyre placard.
Note the wheels were original equipment and I reported my concerns to the manufacturer.
