I guess I'm an idiot when it comes to tire pressure, but I got new tires yesterday and they are a different size than my stock tires. Will I have to keep them at a different pressure? My stock tires were 185/70/14, the new ones are 195/60/14. Thanks.

Same pressure should be ok. Remember if the temperature drops, you will need to recheck and add air to maintain the same pressure.

Stay with 30....that is what the placard suggests in the door jamb...that pressure is set up for the car and its weight, not the wheels themselves whether you are running 15's or 18's...I agree about rechecking when the temp goes down...I just checked mine and it has been like around 20 degrees here during the day for the past couple of weeks...

remember this good rule of thumb:

10 degrees (F) = 1psi

so, if the temp drops 20 degrees in a few months, i.e. summer to fall/winter, youll have to add 2psi all around, then when it gets warmer in the spring youll need to let out some air. then when it gets hot, you may have to deflate them more. this is why its important to check/adjust your pressure before you start driving.

Yeah I am running 35 in my 215/45 tires when I got them they were reading 30 so I put some air in them
