The tire pressure of my Jeep Liberty is about 33PSI, do I need to inflat the tire? and if inflat the tire, how much suitable pressure is? ( The maxim tire pressure is 44PSI)

The recommended tire pressures should be printed on a label on the inside edge of the driver's door. 33 psi tends to be what the dealers prefer on mine, but I usually run about 36 psi in my BFGs.

The label is on the drivers door jamb, not on the tire. It says 33psi so you dont need to look if you dont want to.

I run 36psi.

Others have answered as to where to find the tire pressure listed.

I run mine at 36psi. That's with Hercules Terra-Trac A/T's. Brands and tire types make a difference.

If you are really into it, you could do a "chalk test" to see where your best "footprint" (and psi) is at with the tires you are running.

Somewhere between being sane and insane!
The stock "P" tire that came on KJ's should be run about 32-33psi.Any other tires put on that are "LT" tires will need a different psi rating,will be also different between load range "C","D",and "E" tires.

When I ran MT/R's they wore best and rode best at 38psi(all 3 different sized sets,225/75's-245/75's-and 265/75's),my Interco Trxus MT's are best at 42psi.



With the newer radial tires the chaulk test really does not work anymore and is useless on vehicles that have idependant suspensions,you will get a false reading and end up running to much or to little psi.Work ok with the solid axles.
