Tire pressure

[Ford Fan#1]

Ok my truck calls for 30 in the front and 35 in the back I put them both on 35 and the front feels like it's easier to turn should I put It back to recommended or not or does it matter??

You should keep it around the recommended PSI, but I usually inflate mine to about 2-3 PSI more that stated. That's kinda weird they have 2 separate pressures.

Don't quote me, but excessive tire pressure can cause the center of the tread to wear quicker than the outer and I would think you could lose some road contact. I also wonder why you would put less in the front where there is more weight. With all that, you should be fine and just keep a watch over it and keep em rotated.

I almost forgot: If you are losing too much air, try putting some soap in water, spraying it on the tire and look for bubbles. I think the formula is one cup water with one ounce of soap. This solution is technically known as soapy water...which will never die.

If its just a few pounds you should be ok with no problems of uneven tire wear. And I thought the same thing and then figured the purpose was for towing.

Those numbers are just recommended. They also recommend that I pay a guy $400 every 20,000 km to tell me if my transmission fluid is still full. And if it's not then I get a half hour labour and $10 worth of oil to top it up on top of it. There's a max pressure and weight on your side wall, fill it to wherever you think you're handling the best or saving the most fuel. Just watch out for that uneven tread wear.

Ha I followed the "recommended" tire pressure for the tires on my truck...and had to get new tires around 20,000 miles, Yea could have been my fault, but if I were you I would put it at that and check the tires to see if you can tell where they are wearing, if they are.....

Riddle me this gentleman: There is more weight in the front. Why wouldn't you put more air in the front and less in the back unless you are hauling a load?????????????

[RhinoZ24]

They might have been assuming it was going to be used for a lot of towing and hauling. Idk lol
