One thing that is important for proper driving conditions is proper tire inflation and pressure. The ideal range of pressure in cars is between 193-234 in kPa (kilopascal) or 28 to 34 psi (pounds per square inch). However, in heavier cars, such as minivans, the pressure can be higher, upwards to 303 kPa (44 psi).

In order to keep your Forte model's handling, cornering, and braking as effective as can be, you should aim to keep your tires at a Pound per Square Inch (psi) rating of 32-34 psi for 16-inch wheels. If you have 17-inch wheels outfitted on your vehicle, any rating between 34 and 36 psi should do the trick.

Don't go far. You should never attempt to drive any further than a couple hundred yards on a flat tire, even if it isn't completely deflated. This may not be enough distance to get you to an auto garage, but you can at least creep along until you're away from the hazards of the highway.

Spare tires are full-size tires that are the same size as your existing tires. ...

If you have standard passenger tires (ninety percent of vehicles do) the lowest tire pressure you can generally drive with is 20 pounds per square inch (PSI). Anything under 20 PSI is considered a flat tire, and puts you at risk for a potentially devastating blowout.

Higher pressure generally is not dangerous, as long as you stay well below the "maximum inflation pressure." That number is listed on each sidewall, and is much higher than your "recommended tire pressure" of 33 psi, Gary. So, in your case, I'd recommend that you put 35 or 36 psi in the tires and just leave it there.
