Default Tire pressure and side mirrors

I was wondering if there's a way to check the required tire pressure that my tires are supposed to have. I dont have stock tires I have rockstar 35x12.50r22LT 117Q m+s.

also my auto side mirrors stopped working out of no where and not sure how to go about it.

285/75r16 126, load capacity is 3748lbs
Your 35x12.50r22LT 117, load capacity is 2833lbs.
Besides that you gave up 2+" sidewall
You do the math.

Depends on your driving.

Off road low air. High way gas it up.

Check with tire manufacturer. Regular H3 run 30 to 35 psi

Do not roll tires on road at 30psi, especially when you replace tires with a lower load capacity,+ shorter sidewalls=riding on rims, increases tire failure/loss of control.
Listed inside the driver's side door jamb of your vehicle there will be the originally installed tire size, load rating, and tire pressure for the front and rear tires. The size and pressure have been engineered specifically by the manufacturer for correct load capacity and will typically render the best results for tire wear and ride quality. Tire load capacity is directly related to air pressure in the tires. As tire pressure goes up or down, so does the load capacity of the tire.

As for the mirrors, check fuse #56.

thank you, yea I checked fuse #56 and the fuse it has on it is good. On the tire I found out that the max PSI is 65 on my tires.

You don't need max pressure, my a$$ hurts thinking about that, also hurts looking @ those tires you're riding on.
Just calculate the difference from original installed tires load capacity and adjust air pressure to the same.
Let me do the math for you on mine vs your lowpros
eg: 2833/3748=.755 ---- 35/.755=46.35
Now, you go to your tire sticker on the door and do the same calculation, then adjust your air pressure.

Haha, sorry I took a picture of the side stickers a while back im going to upload it now. Also, I would never fill it up to 65psi that would be a waste of money and tires.
