2003 Gr. Cherokee Tire PMS overactive with smaller sidewall tires

The system alarm is designed to activate when the tire pressure exceeds 45 PSI.
With new, smaller sidewall tires and larger 20" rims, the air pressure fluctuates a lot more due to less air space inside the tire.
This means that in warmer weather, the alarm goes off ALL THE TIME.

Is there a flash computer fix available to correct the problem?
Any suggestions?

Hello partner. The difference in air pressure variations from a 16',17' or 20" tires is a non-factor. Any size tire will go up about 1psi per 10 degrees ambient temperature. The recommended pressure for an 03 Grand Cherokee is 33psi. So if it's a rainy 55 degrees in the great northwest when you set your pressures the temperature on your trip to Death Valley would have to climb to about 175 degrees. On a different note maybe your alarm just isn't calibrated correctly.

I cannot find the recommended tire pressure for my 2000 Chevrolet Silverado Z-71. I know that the placard on the door is supposed to tell me, but it is not there. Can someone please help?

Try the glove box door, if there's nothing there, 32 psi is generally considered a good default pressure. All tires have a maximum value written on their sidewall and if your truck is heavily loaded you may want to increase the pressure but don't exceed a value that is 5 psi lower than the maximum on the tire. This allows a little headroom for heat expansion.

Just wondering if there is a general tire psi for the 1999 honda accord V6. I have to put air in the tires but unfortunately the owner (mother) is away on vacay and I don't see the instruction manual.

the tire pressure should be on a sticker by the drivers door, if you can't find it there is a max pressure on the sidewall of the tires, set them close to that

Correct tire air pressure

On the driver door opening decal the recommened tire pressures if not there its in the rear door opening and it's in the owers manuel under tires. The kind of whells or options need to be obserbed as the differt options may have different recomended pressures and the rear may have a different than the fornt if all the stickers are gone and the owers manuel is too 32 PSI is a safe best bet some 50 or 45 series tires need as much as 45PSI never put more pressure in the tire than what it says on the sidewall but the maximun pressure is safe but might not give the best ride quailty

What is the tire pressure for the front tires supposed to be?

Normally anywhere from 32 psi to 40 psi. To know exactly what your vehicle calls for look inside the door panel. There will be a label there that shows load and pressure ratings for all of your tires. If you do not see the label look on the tire itself. There will be a psi rating on the sidewall of the tire.
