Tire pressures stated in the door are based off of GVW. This weight is set as a fully loaded vehicle with passengers and cargo. So setting your pressures to 36psi like it says in the door will be over inflating your tires, unless you drive it daily fully loaded with passengers and cargo. Set your pressures to 33 and pay attention to how the tires are wearing when you do scheduled maintenance, such as oil changes and tire rotations. If they are wearing around the shoulders and not evenly in the center, increase the cold pressure. If they are wearing only in the middle, lower your cold pressure. You want them to wear evenly across the tread.
