I tend to check it whenever Im cleaning the car inside out, or any longer than usual trip is coming up.

I found it low as 27psi once, 4 psi off.

Apparently I guesseed right, 26-28, with most ppl going for around 28 for the 15" tyres.

32PSI on 174/60 R14s for me.

Found one time all 4 were down to 28PSI which was strange to say the least.

I once was waiting for this guy to finish at the air pump in the garage and he did finish and he had taken a long time to fill one tyre up with air, he only did one tyre.

Anyway I drive up and he had it set on 52PSI !! It was a Cavalier with normal tyres and wheels. Crazyness.

All tyres wrong pressure = your air pressure guage is shafted.
