Tire Pressure for the iPhone will keep you and your passengers safer as well as save you gas by help keeping your tires properly inflated.

Where do you get your tire pressure information to input to Tire Pressure?

For all vehicles produced since 1968, the original tires sizes and inflation pressures (including the spare) are listed on a vehicle placard. This placard can be located on: 

The driver-side door or door jamb (Ford vehicles on the rear passenger door jamb)
Glove box or counsel door
Fuel filler door
The engine compartment


Additionally, some manufacturers also list the original tire pressure in the vehicles owners manual. If a cars inflation pressure has varied from that which was recommended by the manufacturer, its likely that the tires wear and performance characteristics have also changed. 

Some more detailed information on how your tire pressure effects your vehicles:

Under-inflation

If your vehicles tires are under inflated by only 6 psi it could lead to tire failure. Additionally, the tires tread life could be reduced by as much as 25%. Lower inflation pressure will allow the tire to deflect (bend) more as it rolls. This will build up internal heat, increase rolling resistance and cause a reduction in fuel economy of up to 5%. You would find a significant loss of steering precision and cornering stability. While 6 psi doesnt seem excessively low, remember, it usually represents about 20% of the tires recommended pressure. 

Over-inflation

If your tires are over inflated by 6 psi, they could be damaged more easily when running over pot holes or debris in the road. Higher inflated tires cannot isolate road irregularities well causing them to ride harsher. However, higher inflation pressures usually provide an improvement in steering response and cornering stability up to a point. This is why participants who use street tires in autocrosses, track events and road races, run higher than normal inflation pressures.
