    From 17” Wheels To 19” Wheels

    Tire Pressure for different wheel size

    It could if the new tire is XL or L rated. Then the psi corresponds to the weight of the vehicle so if you use the P rated psi on the door jam it will be way to low. In my case my XL rated all weather tires use 42 psi each.
