Notice: Do not let anyone tell you that under‐inflation or over‐inflation is all right. It is not. If your tires do not have enough air (under‐inflation), you can get the following: . Tire overloading and over-heating which could lead to a blowout. . Premature or irregular wear. . Poor handling. . Reduced fuel economy.
Cadillac SRX Owner Manual - 2011 10-62 Black plate (62,1) Vehicle Care How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to check tire pressure. You cannot tell if your tires are properly inflated simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look properly inflated even when they are under‐inflated. Check the tire's inflation pressure when the tires are cold. Cold means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than 1.6 km (1 mile).
Cadillac SRX Owner Manual - 2011 Black plate (63,1) Vehicle Care Vehicles with P235/65R18, P235/55R20, or 235/55R20 size tires require inflation pressure adjustment when driving your vehicle at speeds of 160 km/h (100 mph) or higher. Set the cold inflation pressure to the maximum inflation pressure shown on the tire sidewall, or 260 kPa (38 psi), whichever is lower. When you end this high-speed driving, return the tires to the cold tire inflation pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.
