A/c and tire pressures

ssmuskie

First would be the tires state max 51psi. is that what I want to put into these tires? I got the car used and they have 35 psi. or so in each, also I got an a/c recharge hose and can the hose end is too small for the inline valve i guess i am to use to fill? The only other valve I see is low and in the rear of the engine compartment, this recharge hose does not fit that one either , its too large?? thank you in advance for any help p.s. this is a 6 cylinder motor.

AC low side is behind the alternator next to the firewall (presume this is a 2004 Alero?). What are you using, a recharge kit? Tire pressures should be on a sticker on the door jamb but 30-32 psi sounds about right.

Tire pressure should conform to the label on the driver's door jamb (sometimes the label is in another spot, like inside the glove box). The max pressure on the tire itself has nothing to do with the recommended pressure that the manufacturer has specified.

2004 alero and yes a recharge kit, hose and small can were separate but both are simoniz r134a , i tried attaching the hose to the low side , it only hissed a little and seems the valve is smaller diameter but long and im very sure it wont fit , i will try again tomorrow seeing it is about dark out but i dont want to discharge much more trying to get it on , thanks for fast great answers!

Never heard of a Simoniz AC kit. I use AC Pro, worked very well. The hose should snap right on any standard AC low side fitting.
