What's the correct tire pressure for a vehicle?

Maintaining correct tire pressure is a crucial factor for driving performance, safety, and fuel economy. Optimal tire pressure varies depending on factors such as speed, temperature, load, and wheel size. Therefore, you should check tire pressure regularly and before every journey.

Sources for Optimal Tire Pressure: You can verify the correct tire pressure values for your Ford vehicle from two primary sources:

  • The vehicle's Owner's Manual
  • The tire placard located on the driver's side door jamb

Important Notes Regarding Tires and Wheels:

  • Standard Tires Only: The specified tire pressure values are applicable only to standard size tires and wheels installed at the factory.
  • Non-Standard Tires: If you have changed to non-standard size wheels or tires, the pressure values indicated on the placard may not be suitable for the new tire set.

Checking tire pressure when the tires are cold will provide the most accurate readings.
