According to the owner’s manual for the 2017 Ram 1500, it is suggested that you check each tire’s pressure monthly, especially during the cold months. In order to ensure that you are putting the right amount of air into a cold tire, you’ll want to make sure that the vehicle has been driven for less than a mile has been sitting for 3 hours without driving. This will ensure that the tire does not heat up from the friction of the road and affect the tire pressure reading.
When you are wondering what tire pressure rating is right for your car, look for the information sticker on the driver’s side door edge. Here, you will see the proper inflation rating for each tire. The informational sticker should look like what is pictured to the right.

If you have after-market tires on your Ram 1500 that are a different size than what it listed on your door information sticker, you’ll need to adjust the tire pressure rating to match the specific tire and size.
The 2017 Ram 1500 has a standard low tire pressure warning system that will alert you when your tire pressure becomes dangerously low. However, a tire pressure monitoring system will allow you to view the current pressure in each of the four tires on your pickup. Not only is this information easily visible to you on your Ram’s dashboard, but offers you confidence and added safety in knowing that your tires are filled and ready to hit the road.
