Even reading the sidewall of the 17" tire should tell you this...

Yeah but you're not supposed to go by the sidewall. That's just the maximum pressure the tire can handle....not what it should have on your car necessarily.

True, but knowing that, you can safely go under by 5 - 10 psi till you know what is correct for yer vehicle.....(which you now know)..

Ok, well there goes waiting until spring... I ended up getting a good deal on one.

Schram Auto Parts had a few for sale on eBay... Listed price was $155, but they would go down to $145. I told them I'd take it for $130, and I'd pick it up so they could save on shipping (since they were going to include shipping). They accepted my offer! I figure that's not a bad price for one. Says it's in "B" shape which just means it's used. "A" is almost new, so that isn't a big deal. As long as it looks better than what I have, I'm happy!
