Chrysler PT Cruiser Tire Pressure

It is important to maintain proper tire pressure for Chrysler PT Cruiser tires. Low tire pressure will result in tire underinflation, and high tire pressure will result in tire overinflation, which can compromise tire safety, cause tire blowout, decrease fuel efficiency, cause uneven tire wear and reduce tire tread life. Check Chrysler PT Cruiser tire pressure regularly, and monitor Chrysler PT Cruiser tire inflation levels to avoid driving with overinflated or underinflated tires.

Tire inflation value listed on tire sidewall is a maximum tire pressure the tire can be inflated to, and not the recommended tire pressure for Chrysler PT Cruiser. Use recommended tire pressure listed on the tire pressure chart found on a sticker on driver's door jam or in Chrysler PT Cruiser manual. Recommended tire pressure for your Chrysler PT Cruiser tires will be listed in one of the following pressure units: psi (pound per square inch), bar or kPa (kilopascals). Pay attention as your Chrysler PT Cruiser may have different recommended tire pressure values for front and rear tires. Keep your Chrysler PT Cruiser tires inflated at recommended tire pressure levels at all times for your driving comfort and safety.

If you replace Chrysler PT Cruiser original equipment tires with optional tire sizes or you switch to plus size tires, make sure to follow guidelines for the application of load and inflation tables to find proper tire pressure for new tires on your Chrysler PT Cruiser. Chrysler PT Cruiser tires with the same load index, regardless of tire size, may carry the same load, but not always, and they may require substantially different inflation pressures. Tire load index may not be used independently to determine replacement tire acceptability for load capacity. An equal or greater load index does not always correspond to equal or greater load capacity at all inflation pressure settings.

Always refer to the Chrysler PT Cruiser owner’s manual for any specific safety advice regarding the application of Chrysler PT Cruiser replacement tires.

Chrysler PT Cruiser replacement tires must have equal or greater speed rating compared to the original equipment tires if your Chrysler PT Cruiser speed capability is to be maintained. It is recommended that tire installers refer to the Chrysler PT Cruiser owner’s manual to identify any tire speed rating restriction or recommendation that could affect the operation of the vehicle. If your Chrysler PT Cruiser replacement tires have a lower speed rating than the original equipment tires, the vehicle’s speed must be restricted to that of the replacement tires.

Original equipment tires that come on your Chrysler PT Cruiser will have the proper tire load index, so stick to that number or higher when you replace them with new tires. Tire load index tells you how much weight your tire can carry. Putting too much weight on your tires will overload them, and can cause tire damage, premature tire wear or even tire blowout. Refer to your Chrysler PT Cruiser manual to find its original equipment tire sizes and their load ratings.
