Depends on the vehicle. If you are running the stock tires, it is by your drive side door sill nakasticker (Advice ng car manufacturer).

Montero previous generation 2010, 2011, 2012... Front is 30 rear 32. When fully loaded, nakalagay dun dapat 36 psi yung rear ng gulong. Pero tamad ako magbago bago pa tire pressure so 36 lahat yung montero. hehe!

Fortuner current gen was similar to that, but di ko nacheck talaga since sa kapatid ko yun.

Yung DMAX naman mataas. 55 psi alala ko. Pero ginagawa ko 45 psi lang since di naman fully loaded parati.. Di ko alam kung similar sa MUX kung ganun.

Usually pag fresh from casa/delivery ng planta, asa 45/50psi dadating yan kaya kahit anung ganda ng suspension ng kotse, kala mo matagtag.

Back to topic, a close friend just bought a Terra last week, I was expecting a smooth ride, it was as jittery as a Fort.

Maybe the tires were over-inflated.

OB will probably make the lemons part of his Kpop beauty regimen.

My brother has the current gen Fort and the Terra definitely rides better. But compared to a CUV on pavement it still can't compare. Offroad is a different story though. That's where the Terra shines.

I run my tires at 33 psi cold coz most of the time there's only 2-3 of us in the car. When we're fully loaded I pump it up to 36 psi.

Lahat ng car ko, wildtrak, mux, santa fe 40 PSI ,

Santa Fe - 10km/liter

Thats normal manila drive with 50 percent stop and go

Sa highway driving naman

When I got my Sporty last May, the tires were under inflated. Good thing we checked because after signing for it, I went to work straight away.

Good thing you noticed/checked.

But that is odd if i compare with our family's experience. Though it has been with Japanese brands only so maybe it really varies.

What's normal is receiving the vehicle almost with an empty tank. Hehe. I think they usually put about 300php/500php worth of fuel just to make the delivery (last i recall that we confirmed with the agent who delivered our unit - your deal can vary of xourse)

Don't know about relatives who bought ford or kia.

Receiving the unit with no fuel is almost standard for most dealerships, haha!

I insisted they include at least 20 liters in the deal because I had ordered the TOTL and paid in cash. I also took the insurance they offered (40K) so that must have helped also.

Speaking of tire pressure, Is there really such a big difference between Nitrogen and ordinary air? I know that eventually it all turns into ordinary air anyway, right?

Oddly enough with nitrogen, i was also in the same camp as you before.

But, after buying all my tires for my sedan at snr, i was surprised to find that nitrogen charge didnt really change pressure in my ride after more than a month. With the gas station, i need to check weekly because there is a loss of 1 to 2 psi already with mine.

After a month with nitrogen, i checked my tire pressure at the gas station. And it was saying i was over inflated.

But i am 100% sure snr charged per my psi. So, i am of the assumption that the tire pressure reading at some gas stations is also off by 2 psi/not calibrated.

I recharged nitrogen at snr when i got there and the ride still feels the same even after 2 weeks.

So, im sticking with snr nitrogen charge at least since it is free to do for my sedan specifically. Ü

I had a different experience I guess because after about the second month my tire pressures were low.

My problem is the places where nitrogen compressors are available are somewhat far from my base location. While a good sized Petron station is just 50 meters away.

I guess I'll just have to live with ordinary air in my tires.

Kumusta na kaya yung nag text drive ng Terra this weekend?

Just finished test driving the terra 4x2 vl and the navara 4x4 vl medyo feels heavier ang terra kaysa navara, ride was smooth on both units sa highway and rough roads comparing to my montero the terra seems much stronger and feels like a truck...
Anyway wifey and family already like the terra over the new 2020 monty more spacious daw inside at may tv daw...
